Trainer Richard Fahey hailed Wootton Bassett an "incredible sire and incredible horse" following his untimely death at the age of 17.

North Yorkshire-based Fahey guided the son of Iffraaj to victory in each of his five juvenile starts 15 years ago, a run which included back-to-back sales wins at York and Doncaster and was rounded off with a Group One triumph in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere on Arc weekend in Paris.
