Review: Gr.1 Coventry Stakes

Archie Watson’s talented colt was impressive winning at York but was significantly more impressive when he crossed the wire. The son of Tasleet was positioned wide from his low draw in stall two, Bradsell moved smoothly towards the front end with two furlongs to go when Doyle made a bold bid for a home.

It proved the right move as her mount soon found top gear to take a couple of lengths out of the field and from that point he never really looked in any danger of being reeled in.

The well-fancied Persian Force did best of the closing pack to fill the runner-up spot but was a length and a half behind at the line.

Doyle said: "It was an impressive performance. He got squeezed out of the gates which were frustrating.

"Two (furlongs) down I was pretty confident as they were all sitting ducks so I just thought 'let's get on with this and he responded pretty well.

"Off the back of that performance, you'd have to say the world is his oyster."

Watson added: "I was saying to my fiance Brodie (Hampson) last night when I was looking through the race that anything able to win it by daylight would be a superstar and that is exactly what he has gone and done.

"I'm just delighted, this is the place everyone wants to have winners. We won the Windsor Castle a few years ago with Soldier's Call and we had a bad old time last year with Dragon Symbol (demoted by stewards) and then we lost the horse, so for us this is massive."
