JOHN Gosden has been a little quiet of late but still has much to look forward to this season as his California proved in the Group 3 Markel Insurance Fillies’ Stakes over a mile and three-quarters.

The four-year-old raced handily for reliable understudy Rab Havlin and swept into a clear lead in the straight. Paul Cole’s Tioga Pass invariably runs well here and kept on willingly but was still a length adrift at the line.
