Sir Michael Stoute has made a terrific start to the 2023 turf campaign and the Newmarket trainer sent out his tenth winner from only his thirty second runner at Nottingham on Friday evening. Perfuse, who is featured in the Unraced Three Year Old section in Ahead On The Flat, finished in front of his stablemate Crystal Mariner (won at Newcastle on Tuesday) when filling the runners-up berth on his racecourse debut at Pontefract last month. The well bred son of Lope De Vega stepped up on that performance with an emphatic seven and a half lengths win at Colwick Park. From the family of St Leger winner Logician, he is bred to stay further than ten furlongs and is one to follow. Last year's Epsom Derby winning handler has assembled a quality team of three year olds, including the Wood Ditton Stakes winner Passenger who has been supplemented in the Group 2 Dante Stakes at York next Thursday.
