Richard Fahey is being thwarted by the spring weather in his attempts to take Wootton Bassett for a second racecourse gallop. It has not been a smooth run for the trainer as he tries to prepare his star colt for the Qipco 2000 Guineas, as Wootton Bassett overcame a setback earlier in the year but still needs to fine-tune his fitness. The Iffraaj colt worked at Newcastle earlier this month and Fahey had hoped he could travel to a track again during the middle of this week, but admitted: "We're just struggling to find somewhere to take him, so we'll have to see. The ground is quick everywhere and we're on the back foot. We'll try and sort something out, but we need some rain badly."
