Five Ways
AW Group 3 winner last September and bettered that form when 2.75l fourth to Wise Approach (Brussels second, Coppull third) in Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) later that month; late headway for seventh of 14 in 5f Group 3 back at Newmarket on reappearance; likely to benefit from the return to 6f but whether he's quite good enough remains to be seen.

From the connections
“We've always liked Five Ways. He shows a lot of ability in his homework and he won well at Salisbury last time, so we just thought it was worth a go. He'll stay further in time, we'll just have to see if we go again this year. He's a lovely horse for the future. We were a bit disappointed first time out, but the ground was a bit loose and he had a bit of wheelspin and probably needed the run - Andrew Balding. trainer.”
“I'm delighted, I bred Five Ways, his dam, grandmother and the one before that. Andrew's always thought he was a good horse but I'm surprised by how easy he's won. We hope he's a nice horse but I've been breeding horses for over 50 years so I know not to get too excited. It was a quick time so it's all looking good. I think he'll stay further and it will be time for a reassessment after that - John Hobby, owner-breeder.”
