The William Haggas-trained Collection, the impressive winner of a York handicap on Wednesday, could make a quick reappearance in the Listed David Wilson Homes Stakes at Goodwood on Wednesday, May 21.

Harry Herbert, Racing Manager to owners Highclere Thoroughbred Racing, revealed today: "We honestly have not made up our minds. We were delighted with the York result and we have known for some time that he is a pretty exciting horse.

"We need to see how he has come out of the race and then decide whether we go the David Wilson Homes Stakes route and then on to the Derby, or go straight to the Derby, or whether actually a better route is to go straight to the Royal meeting (Ascot).

"He was quite impressive in winning the other day. He has been working very well at home and we were disappointed with his performance first time out this year. There were good reasons for that - the combination of freshness, the ground and William quite rightly leaving a little bit to work on meant that he just blew up at Doncaster.

"He was rated 80 and has won a handicap impressively and you could argue that Sir Michael Stoute’s Dante Stakes winner (Tartan Bearer) has done the same thing, albeit in a trial.

"We need to think further about it. We are excited about him and we will know more at the beginning of next week."

Collection was beaten favourite on his first outing this season at Doncaster in April but picked up impressively to win over 10 furlongs at York on May 14 and connections are considering the Goodwood contest as a possible next step.

Also among the entries is the Richard Hannon-trained Scintillo, who was successful in the Group One Gran Criterium at San Siro in October.

Trainer Brian Meehan could saddle City Leader, victorious in the Group Two Juddmonte Royal Lodge Stakes at Ascot last term, while Newmarket handler Luca Cumani has engaged Savarain, who won the Wedlake Bell Maiden Stakes over a mile and a half at Goodwood on May 8.
