    • Newmarket's opening mile novice on Saturday had 2026 Oaks written all over it and it will be no surprise if Godolphin's Romantic Symphony (Dubawi) is one of the main players heading to the Epsom Classic in June. While the newcomer's 3/4-of-a-length winning margin was not flashy, everything about her pedigree suggests this is very much the beginning. Romantic Symphony, a full-sister to fellow Charlie Appleby-trained Group 1 and Grade I winners Yibir and Wild Illusion, was sent off the 10-11 favourite for this contest won in recent times by the stable's subsequent Group winners Magic Lily and Beautiful Love. Always travelling easily for Billy Loughnane, the homebred was able to overhaul the experienced George Boughey-trained Tryst (Sottsass) in the final furlong and stay on best. Another eye-catcher in one truly for the notebooks was the third Forever True (Siyouni), Lady Bamford's John and Thady Gosden-trained homebred who was a head further behind and one we are sure to be hearing a lot more about.

    • Yeguada Centurion's homebred Wootton Centurion (Wootton Bassett) made a mockery of his 6-1 odds and attained TDN Rising Star status with a stunning pillar-to-post victory in Saturday's Prix de Villebon at Chantilly. “He has always been a very straightforward colt since he arrived in training and was one of the first ones I put in serious work,” said trainer Victoria Head. “He showed us that he needed time and we gave him all the time he needed to mature. He is big, athletic, very professional and mentally strong. I didn't know how the race would unfold, but leading didn't prove a problem and he quickened very nicely. Obviously he didn't mind the soft so I imagine he will run again this season.” The eventual winner was swiftly into stride from an inner stall and seized immediate control of this one-mile newcomers' test. In command throughout, he was nudged along passing the quarter-mile pole and thundered clear of toiling rivals under mild coaxing thereafter to easily outclass Roi De La Liberte (Kingman) by an impressive six lengths.     Pedigree Notes Wootton Centurion is the latest of three foals and second scorer produced by stakes-winning GIII Soaring Softly Stakes runner-up Elevenses (More Than Ready), herself a half-sister to GII Eclipse Stakes victor Treason (Constitution) out of the stakes-winning Cougarstown (Speightstown). The March-foaled bay's third dam is the dual stakes winner Fair Apache (Bertrando), who hails from the family of Grade I-placed sire Diablo (Devil's Bag).   1st-Chantilly, €45,700, Mdn, 9-20, unraced 2yo, 8fT, 1:40.27, gd.
