John Gosden’s Wings Of Desire could make his reappearance at Sandown next month

JOHN GOSDEN's Wings Of Desire is back in training and could return to the track as early as next month.

Gosden's colt has been sidelined since finishing well down the field in the Juddmonte International at York last August.

Hugo Lascelles, racing manager for his owner Lady Bamford, said: "Wings Of Desire is back in training and is going along fine, but there isn't really anything for him until mid-May.

"We might look at the Brigadier Gerard at Sandown - that has been mooted - but there are definitely no concrete plans just yet."
