The Fugue: Goes on trial in Musidora

John Gosden is keen to get more racecourse experience into The Fugue in Wednesday's Tattersalls Musidora Stakes at York.

The QIPCO 1000 Guineas fourth is out to book her place in the Investec Oaks field at the Knavesmire and the trainer expects her to relish the step up to ten furlongs.

He said: "She ran a nice race at Newmarket in the 1000 Guineas, especially as one ran into the back of her after a furlong or so, which meant she lost her stride for a bit.

"However, she finished the race strongly and has been in good form since. She lacks racing experience and we are keen to run her to see which route we go down - whether we stay at a mile and a quarter or go a mile and a half. Unfortunately the races come quite close together but I'm happy with her."
