El Astronaute who I purchased for £38,000 as a breeze-up horse won his 6th race of his career on Wednesday 10th May with victory in the Class 2 handicap over 5f at Chester. The son of Approve has won both his starts of 2017 and showed great speed to make all over the minimum distance running off a career high mark under jockey Jason Hart. The Epsom Dash looks likely to be his next start.

Congratulations to his owner Ross Harmon and to his trainers John & Sean Quinn.
