Wednesday’s seven-furlong novice at Kempton looked an intriguing affair on paper and Juddmonte’s newcomer Detain (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}–Nisriyna {Ire}, by Intikhab) came through his first test with flying colours for the Gosdens. A half-brother to the stable’s dual group 3 winner and G1 St Leger runner-up Arrest (Ire) (Frankel {GB}), the 9-4 second favourite recovered from a tardy start to race in mid-division early under Kieran Shoemark. Staying on strongly to lead passing the furlong pole, the €340,000 Goffs November Foal Sale graduate asserted to beat Afentiko (Ire) (Hello Youmzain {Fr}) by two lengths.
Detain runs out an impressive winner in the Unibet/British Stallion Studs EBF Novice Stakes under Kieran Shoemark for the Gosden team!
