Formscan - GEWAN follows a similar path Andrew Balding plotted with his 2022 Champagne winner and subsequent 2000 Guineas hero Chaldean, having struck at Newbury before landing the Acomb. He was always holding the runner-up at York and that willing attitude will stand him in excellent stead going forward. Oxagon built on a promising start in a hot Newmarket maiden when running away with a Sandown novice by eight lengths. The son of Frankel will ensure this isn't easy pickings for the selection, with the hat-trick seeking Cape Orator next best after his profitable Deauville raid.
