Trainer John Gosden says that he is "on weather watch" in anticipation of Stradivarius's bid to win the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot for a second time, hoping that the forecast rain doesn't materialise. But, he is confident that Too Darn Hot will give a good account of himself in the St James's Palace Stakes, blaming himself for the horse's defeats this season.

During an interview with RPTV, Gosden also spoke about his only Ascot two-year-old runner, Light Angel, and provided an update on superstar Enable, who is bound for the Eclipse.
