Benefitting from a fast-run renewal of Newmarket's G2 Kingdom Of Bahrain July Stakes on Thursday, Mick and Janice Mariscotti's 18-1 shot Zavateri (Without Parole) came through to dominate the six-furlong contest.

Impressive on debut at Salisbury last month, the second big two-year-old from the Eve Johnson Houghton stable in 2025 after the Royal Ascot winner Havana Hurricane had a length to spare over the Coventry runner-up Do Or Do Not (Space Blues).

“We didn't underestimate him and he'll improve again–I had to commit sooner than I wanted to and I was impressed with the way he found the line,” jockey Charles Bishop said of the 35,000gns Tattersalls October Book 2 bargain buy from the family of the great Zarkava.

“He'll get seven in time and he's got a very good mind–everything you ask him to do, he does immediately. He was on the wing without any help today and I always thought he would appreciate a bit of give, as he has a bit of knee action but he's handled fast ground well twice now.”

Zavateri wins the Kingdom Of Bahrain July Stakes!

The Without Parole colt dents some big reputations and is now two from two as this 35,000gns buy lands Group 2 honours in quite a result for the @johnsonhoughton team 👏 @BahrainTurfClub | @NewmarketRace pic.twitter.com/ze17fu4m7e
