SOME weeks ago I wrote about the debut win for Mubtasim at Yarmouth and said “he should step up in class and his next start will be most informative.” So it was and it resulted in win number two for the son of Arcano. A puzzling display in the Gimcrack Stakes was banished when the colt made his fourth start in the Weatherbys Hamilton £300,000 Stakes at Doncaster, winning from a big field.

This victory brought his earnings to some £156,000 and the colt now has some tasty options again in group company before his yearling half-sister by Power comes under the hammer in Book 2 of the Tattersalls October Sale in Newmarket. There she is catalogued from Voute Sales as agent for Doug Rawnsley.
