Irish import Kingswood could be aimed at the Group 1 Australian Cup (2000m) in March, with trainer Gavin Bedggood cautiously weighing up the timing following a taxing spring carnival campaign.

The gelding was last seen finishing fifth in the Group 2 Zipping Classic (2400m) on November 30, after claiming victory in the Group 3 Coongy Cup (2000m) during a four-start preparation.

“I earmarked the Australian Cup for him, but it’s not a long turnaround from spring from his last run to that race,” Bedggood told Racing.com.

“I will go and have a look at him towards the end of the year. He’s been in the paddock now for a couple of weeks, and I’ll see how he is looking.

“It’s a possibility. He’s a pretty good galloper.”

Reflecting on Kingswood’s recent performances, Bedggood added: “I would say we went to Sydney not quite at the end of his preparation, but he was on the way down, and then we went to the Sandown Classic.

“I think 2400 metres saw him out, but I don’t think he’s all that at home on wet ground.

“We may poke around the fringes early, then end up in Brisbane in a race like the Doomben Cup. We will see how his form stacks up.”
