Wootton Bassett colt made fine impression in winning first two starts, notably Naas Listed (1m); bit underwhelming in Group company since however, losing second late on at Deauville and in Royal Lodge (Newmarket) never really landed a blow on faster ground when nearly 6l off winner; this looks weaker and return to easier ground will suit.

Looked good on his debut and confirmed that promise with an easy win at Listed level (Naas; 1m, good); relinquished his unbeaten record when odds-on for a Group 3 at Deauville but the drop back to 7f probably didn't help, nor being isolated from the two who beat him; big colt who retains significant potential for 1m+.

Starman colt a 180,000gns yearling; ran away with ordinary Down Royal maiden and again when showing considerably better form in 4-runner Group 3 Tyros Stakes at Leopardstown in July, making all to beat an odds-on shot 6l (7f, good-to-yielding); possibly flattered by latest but certainly going the right way and proven over the trip; yard has a good recent record in this race.
