Form & Verdict
Son of Wootton Bassett cost 480,000gns as a yearling; looked potentially very smart when winning by 10l on debut at Navan; given the margin, possibly of limited relevance that the runner-up failed to advertise the form at Cork.

Won the 6f Group 2 Coventry Stakes at this meeting in 2023, with Haatem back in fifth; has finished third in Group 1 events since, most recently behind Rosallion and Haatem in the Irish 2,000 Guineas on reappearance; no extra late on that day, and likely be at least as effective over today's distance; handles any ground; should be at concert pitch now and looks the one to beat in receipt of 3lb from Haatem.

22-1 when fourth of five behind River Tiber on his Naas debut (5f, good) last month, but improved to win a conditions event at Tipperary (5f, good) nine days later; will need to step up again but that's quite possible and he shouldn't be passed over at all lightly.

Fully exposed 5yo but he recorded the best RPR of his 50-race career when winning at Dundalk last month (6f); while effective on turf, he looks high enough in the weights now returning to grass; well drawn but others appeal more for win purposes.
