The unbeaten Wootton Bassett heads a five-strong team from the Richard Fahey stable in the Weatherbys Insurance £300,000 2-Y-O Stakes at Doncaster on Thursday.

Fahey notched up his 50th two-year-old success of the season a few days ago and the North Yorkshire-based trainer has a powerful hand as he tries to grab a lion's share of the big pot on offer.

Wootton Bassett is going for another bumper pay-day after collecting £147,720 when completing a hat-trick in the DBS Premier Yearling Stakes at York last month. He meets the runner-up Galtymore Lad on 8lb worse terms, though Fahey believes his colt has improved.

"Strictly on form he can't beat Channon's horse, but we'll see. Our horse is well," said Fahey.
