11/8
Foaled April 10. 4,300,000 gns yearling, Wootton Bassett colt. Dam, fairly useful 1m/1m2f winner, sister to Oaks winner Was. Really catches the eye on paper and holds a Group 1 entry so he's a most interesting newcomer.

Forecasts

Poker (11/8), Master Of Entropy (11/4), Gaurdman (10/3), Ocean Of Storms (10/1), Aerial Silk (11/1), Ziata (20/1), Chain Link (33/1), Snaafy (33/1), Bradbury (150/1)

Verdict

Karl Burke's newcomer POKER fetched an eye-watering 4,300,000 guineas as a yearling and this son of the late Wootton Bassett is taken to make a winning start at the chief expense of the progressive Gaurdman, who shaped well when third at Windsor. Both Aerial Silk and Ziata also need factoring into this intriguing novice.
