Newbury Race 5 - Trade Nation London Gold Cup Handicap (Heritage Handicap) (GBB Race)
MY LOVE IS KING (4) shaped with real promise in the Listed Newmarket Stakes fifteen days ago. Trained by John and Thady Gosden and now fitted with cheekpieces tackles a handicap. Could show plenty of improvement. This is just his fourth contest. LOST BOYS (9) makes a bold hat-trick bid. Won narrowly on his first try over this distance last month. This David Menuisier trained colt holds leading claims. AL AZD (7) has also won his last two. Trainer Roger Varian brings a good record in this race. SAHARA KING (6) did well at Newmarket thirteen days ago. Each-way chance. PORT OF SPAIN (2) is worth monitoring in the betting on his reappearance.

Racing first-up today. Not seen since he finished last of 7 at Saint-Cloud in the G1 Criterium International October 26 over 1600m, soft track; 5 len behind Puerto Rico carrying 57kg at $35. On debut sixth of 10 at Curragh August 9 over 1408m, 4.5 len behind Geryon carrying 60.5kg at $13. Worth a market check on his comeback.
