No Nay NeverThe Aidan O'Brien trained colt won on debut at the Curragh and then was second in a Listed race at Doncaster before stepping up a notch here to win this seven furlong contest by a commanding seven lengths for Ryan Moore.

"Wichita ran a nice race at Doncaster last time and looks to have moved forward from that. Ryan liked him and he got a nice tow into the race and was going away out of the Dip," said part-owner Paul Smith.

"He's had a rehearsal here now so could come back for the Dewhurst or there is the Vertem Futurity at Doncaster if we decide to step him up to a mile."

Purchased for 140,000 guineas at the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale by Amanda Skiffington/MV Magnier, Wichita is the best of four winners from stakes-winner Lumiere Noire, a half0sister to Group I winner Desert Blanc.

No Nay Never stands at Coolmore Australia this spring at a fee of $44,000.
