Water To Wine
WATER TO WINE has looked something out of the ordinary in landing each of his 2 starts to date, impressive umder hands-and-heels riding when following up his Newbury debut success at Kempton 23 days ago. Remaining with considerable potential, he's a fascinating runner pitched into pattern company and he earns the vote. Causeway responded generously to pressure when extending his winning run to 4 at the Curragh and is a big threat upped in trip. Golden Story may emerge next best.

Son of Kingman who was very impressive when readily landing a Newbury maiden (11f) on debut in April and subjected to no more than hands and heels riding when following up in a Kempton novice 23 days ago. Fascinating runner now pitched into Group 2 company with prospect of plenty more to come.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKempton Park1m 2f 219yStandard / SlowFlat1/10Newbury1m 3fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/8- 2(6)CausewayJ: Ryan MooreT: Aidan O'Brien, Ireland41-111Age 313/813/86/4

Progressive son of Wootton Bassett who took rise in class in his stride when landing listed Tetrarch Stakes on penultimate start and extended winning sequence to 4 in Group 3 at the Curragh (1¼m) 4 weeks ago. Likely he'll stay this longer trip and he's of serious interest in refitted cheekpieces.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCurragh1m 2fGood (Good to Yielding in places)Flat1/9Curragh1mGoodFlat1/7Naas7fSoft (Soft to Heavy in places )Flat1/13Curragh7fSoft to HeavyFlat1/13Gowran Park1mHeavy (Soft in places)Flat4/9- 4(1)Golden StoryJ: Clifford LeeT: K.

Well-related colt who was successful on sole start at 2yrs and had clearly derived plenty from his reappearance run in Dee Stakes at Chester when landing listed Cocked Hat Stakes at Goodwood (11f) 4 weeks ago, proving resolute to edge a tight finish. Better to come and tackles group company.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosGoodwood1m 3f 44yGoodFlat1/4Chester1m 2f 70yGoodFlat3/5Doncaster1mSoft (Heavy in places)Flat1/5- 1(2)Ancient EgyptJ: David EganT: Charlie Johnston117-18Age 310/110/19/1

Successful on 2 of his 3 starts as a 2-y-o and resumed with a smart effort when scoring in listed company at Newmarket (1¼m) in May. Possibly found conditions against him when eighth in the Derby at Epsom and he's worth another crack at this trip back on drying ground.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosEpsom Downs1m 4f 6ySoftFlat8/13Newmarket (rowley)1m 2fGood to FirmFlat1/5Newmarket (rowley)1mGood to FirmFlat7/8Goodwood1mGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat1/6Beverley7f 96yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat1/5- 5(4)Venetian PrinceJ: Jason WatsonT: Andrew Balding1-22401Age 322/118/120/1

Useful colt who was well held in last month's 2000 Guineas but combination of longer trip/testing ground clearly suited well when taking 16-runner Italian Derby at Milan (11f) 17 days ago. This demands more back on quicker ground but he's still unexposed at this trip.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMilan1m 2f 206yFlat1/16Newmarket (rowley)1mGood to FirmFlat10/14Newmarket (rowley)1mGoodFlat4/5Kempton Park1mStandard / SlowFlat2/4Southwell1m 13yStandardFlat2/7- 3(5)Echo Of StarsJ: Jamie SpencerT: Oliver Cole42-41Age 340/140/150/1

Son of Sea The Stars who was fitted with a tongue strap and didn't need to improve on previous form to open his account in a Chepstow novice (1¼m, good to firm) 3 weeks ago. Did that cosily enough but this demands a sizeable step forward upped markedly in class.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosChepstow1m 2fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat1/8Newbury1m 2fGoodFlat4/11Newmarket (rowley)1mGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat2/7Ascot7f 213ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Flat4/5
