DOLCE COURAGE John & Thady Gosden 4yo Siyouni gelding
Unraced as a two-year-old and gelded before he made his debut in the October of his Classic season, Dolce Courage won two all-weather novice contests last winter and looks to be a promising horse for handicaps this season. Held-up over 7f at Southwell on debut, he came from off the pace to run down the placed horses and the runner-up has advertised the form by winning twice since (latterly at Kempton in mid-March). He is now rated 91, whilst the winner gave 7lb to the 88-rated Leadman when racing more prominently over a mile at Newcastle. The pair drew a long way (8 lengths) clear and despite the weight disparity between the two, Dolce Courage has been handed an opening mark of 89. Bred to stay further, it will be no surprise if he progress through the handicap ranks in the coming months and as such, he is the only 'older' horse among this year's list.
