Wild Blossom was cut to 5-1 for the Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot after running out an impressive ten-length winner of the 5f fillies’ novice for trainer Karl Burke.

The Wathnan Racing-owned two-year-old, who was a 300,000gns breeze-up purchase in April, scored in style on her debut under James Doyle.

The trainer used the same race as a springboard to Royal Ascot success last season with Venetian Sun, who went on to land the Albany Stakes on her next start.

Speaking to Racing TV, Doyle said: “She was impressive and it looks like Karl has targeted another good filly at the race.

“They had a good downpour before racing, so the ground was quite slow, which was a bit of an unknown, but she coped quite well. It was all nice and smooth; the only moment she had was a little jink when she went out on to the track and I almost came off, but apart from that she was foot-perfect.

“She’s very speedy, but she has a good temperament and is very adaptable. I was happy to get a lead and just ride her to finish, but when Kevin Ryan's horse [Miss Havisham] went on I switched it up a bit and she was very relaxed.

“I’d say she's more one for the Queen Mary than the Albany. We’ve got plenty to sort out in the coming weeks, so we’ll see where she fits in, but she’s quick, for sure."

Corbett's 150-1 stunner

Freddie Steady Go caused a 150-1 upset in the 7f novice for trainer Susan Corbett.

The five-year-old had been beaten at 100-1 and 150-1 on his previous starts over a mile this season, but he had shown promise in bumpers last year, winning on his debut at Newcastle before twice finishing a close-up third at Haydock and Hexham.

The drop to seven furlongs saw him comfortably make all under Cam Hardie.
