    Think this John Gosden colt could be top class
    Is running tomorrow night at Wolverhampton [7.30]...opening odds of 1-5

    WTF...2nd

    Winner looked a right sort though despite starting issues

    Repaupo ran on well without being given too hard a race, and looks a stayer in the making.

    Doncaster 4.05 PHOENIX OF SPAIN, finished second to Too Darn Hot in the Group 2 Champagne over seven furlongs of this course, steps up to a Group 1 today and an extra furlong. Strong opposition from O'Brien and Gosden yards but hoping for a strong run and a place at least.

    PHOENIX OF SPAIN ran really well but couldn't quite hold off the winner's challenge.

    No complaints the strong pace seemed to suit, Spencer produced him at the right time, just not quite good enough.

    Good luck, PB, hopefully McKay will be more "interested" this time.
