News On Wootton Bassett
Wootton Bassett thrilled connections in a piece of work on Tuesday and is on course to make his reappearance in the French 2000 Guineas at Longchamp on Sunday week.
The unbeaten colt was last seen winning the Group One Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere on Arc day at the Paris venue in October. Trainer Richard Fahey had originally planned a tilt at the Newmarket Guineas, but that came too soon after a minor setback earlier in the spring.
He is now reported to be firing on all cylinders, and in-form Fahey said: "His work has been excellent and we're looking at going to France because there's a good chance of getting suitable ground."
