10/11

Foaled January 24. 1,900,000 gns yearling, Wootton Bassett colt. Half-brother to useful 7f winner Topanga and 1m winner Time Allowed. Only the third 2-y-o seen out from the stable in 2026 (the first won on debut, the second runs in the opening race on this card). Of obvious interest.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: H Palmer

6/1

Easy to back but made an encouraging start when ¾-length second of 4 in 7f novice at Haydock 3 weeks ago. The third won well next time and he can improve now fitted with a tongue tie.

Form: 2

Forecasts

King's Welcome (10/11), Encounter (7/2), Kaito (4/1), Pat's Cash (6/1), Gymbaazy (22/1), Il Capo (40/1), Wise Warrior (100/1)

Godolphin's KING'S WELCOME makes plenty of appeal on paper having cost 1,900,000 gns and is taken to make a winning debut before any betting clues. Kaito is another interesting newcomer, while Pat's Cash can improve from his Haydock second with that form having been boosted.
