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.

Front-runner; seems to handle most ground but her 5f maiden win at Cork (good to firm) last July was easily bettered by her AW achievements later; dropped right out on her return in a Listed race at Cork (extended 5f, soft) last month and has work to do off this mark back in a handicap.
