Golden Gates Stakes (Handicap)
LOST BOYS was part of a recent talent acquisition drive by Wathnan and this progressive colt is an attractive proposition with his bid to complete a four-timer. Having shown a game attitude to beat strong opposition in the London Gold Cup at Newbury, the son of Night Of Thunder remains capable of further improvement off a 7lb higher mark and has all the attributes for another big run. The runner-up in that Newbury race, Sahara King, is no back number as another new recruit for the same owners, while Perisher, Harmonics and Bayaann are other flourishing three-year-olds with highly appealing credentials.

Golden Gates Stakes Overview
Recently added to the Royal Ascot schedule in 2020, the Golden Gates Stakes is already proving to be a popular race with racegoers and punters alike. The race has only had four renewals so far so it is still in its infancy.
The race tends to see a classy winner prevail and go on to bigger and better things in horse racing. So it’s certainly a race that can provide a glimpse into the future of the sport. Two of the previous winners have been priced at 20/1 (Highland Chief in 2020 and Burdett Road in 2023) heading into the race showing that the smart money could be in backing the outsiders.
