J: Neil Callan

T: Marco Botti

30,000gns yearling; third foal; Wootton Bassett half-brother to French 5.5f-6.5f winner Drole De Dame (including 2yo; RPR 98); dam French 8.5f AW winner whose winning siblings include 7f Listed winner Mayyadah, useful 5f-6f winner Teruntum Star and 1m2f Group 3 winner Serisia; might be better for the run but a market move would make him interesting.

Form & Verdict
Threw in a couple of stinkers in September but his seconds at Pontefract and Newcastle either side bring him right into the reckoning; travelled strongly last time and should cope with dropping to 7f.
