4/5

Wootton Bassett created an excellent impression when landing 10-runner maiden at Gowran (7f, good to soft, 3/1) on debut 20 days ago. Another bold show likely with a fair bit more to come.

Forecasts

Daytona (4/5), North Coast (2/1), Green Soul (7/1), Wyman (16/1), Flanker Jet (22/1), Blue Blue Moon (25/1), Genchev (28/1), Leblon Queen (50/1)

A number of these offer a fair bit of potential, not least Aidan O'Brien's DAYTONA who looked a good prospect when making a winning debut at Gowran and can take this step up in class in his stride. Joseph O'Brien's pair North Coast and Green Soul rate the main threats and can chase home the selection in that order.
