Mr Versatile as a sire, Coolmore shuttler Wootton Bassett (GB) gets fast juveniles, quality milers and a smattering of classy stayers including one of his rare grey offspring in Presage Nocturne, who won the Group III Prix Prix de Barbeville (3000m) at Longchamp on Sunday.

When you call a filly Simply Astounding there is a level of expectation and the debut win of this blueblood Wootton Bassett filly overnight in Ireland would suggest the name was not bestowed lightly.
