Wootton Bassett colt is taking his racing well, taking his form to a new level when second in Group 2 Flying Childers at Doncaster last month; 15 days later not quite as effective but solid run all the same upped to 6f when 3.5l fifth in Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket; major player providing he handles the surface.

Top-rated at 85 after nine starts; eight runs last year included a C&D maiden second on yielding and 4.25l third in a 5f listed heat at Cork (5f, good); shaped as though the run was needed at Dundalk last month; cheekpieces go on for return to turf; obvious chance but becoming expensive to follow.
