Richard Gibson headed back to his stables with a spring in his step following Wellington’s trial at Sha Tin on Tuesday morning, with the four-time Group One winner doing “everything perfectly” before he departs for Royal Ascot.

Eleven days out from the Group One Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes (1,200m), Gibson was beaming as he confirmed it is “all systems go” ahead of Wellington’s flight on Saturday.

“He did everything perfectly today. He’s on the plane on Saturday, and we’re looking forward to it. It was a good boost to see him work so well this morning,” Gibson said.

Settled just off the speed by jockey Alexis Badel over 1,000m down the Sha Tin straight, Wellington stretched out nicely towards the middle of the track before coasting across the line under minimal urgings from his French pilot.

“There’s no greater judge than Alexis to base his form and condition on, and we’re really satisfied with the trial,” Gibson added.

While Badel partnered Wellington to his first three Group One triumphs, the man aboard for his fourth and most recent – Ryan Moore – will take the reins for the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes.

Wellington has been strongly supported in overseas fixed-odds markets to sit at around $9 in a market headed by Australian speedster Artorius – aboard whom Zac Purton won the Group One Canterbury Stakes (1,300m) at Randwick in March – and Highfield Princess.

Gibson will head to the United Kingdom on Sunday night, but in the meantime he has two runners at Happy Valley on Wednesday night and four gallopers entered for Sha Tin on the weekend.

One For All headlines the 53-year-old’s midweek hand, with the four-year-old chasing his fourth consecutive victory in the Class Four Wong Nai Chung Gap Handicap (1,200m).

After dropping 10 points to a mark of 42 while failing to salute in his first eight career starts, One For All has reeled off a hat-trick of Class Four victories and remains in the grade on a rating of 60, but will carry the top weight of 135 pounds for his troubles.

Wellington’s Tuesday trial the next domino to fall ahead of Royal Ascot raid

“There’s no doubt about it, he’s got his chance again on Wednesday. We would have preferred an apprentice on board, but Luke’s won with him, and he likes that slightly wider draw, so I’m sure he’ll be there in the reckoning,” Gibson said of One For All, who jumps from gate eight under South African jockey Luke Ferraris.

“He’s always shown a lot of class. He just had a slow start. He’ll be winning more races next season.”
