AT York, the Listed coral.co.uk Rockingham Stakes went to Tim Easterby’s Dick Turpin youngster Vintage Brut, 8/1, who left a poor run from a bad draw at Redcar well behind him. The trainer believes he could make up into a top-class sprinter.

Someone who knows all about sprinters is Kevin Ryan, successful in the very valuable Coral Sprint Trophy with 12/1 chance Major Jumbo, who galloped on strongly for Josephine Gordon to beat Flying Pursuit.
