John Quinn's Classic hopeful The Wow Signal may have a racecourse gallop at Wetherby as he prepares for his return to action in the Greenham Stakes at Newbury on April 18.

An impressive winner of the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot, he proved that was no fluke by winning the Prix Morny at Deauville, beating Wesley Ward's American ace Hootenanny.

His final run of the season, back in France on Arc weekend, saw him finish last of nine and Quinn felt he had gone over the top.

"He's very well and I'm pleased with him, he's strengthened up just like you'd expect," said the Malton handler.

"We're going to run him in the Greenham before the Guineas.

"We might even take him to Wetherby next Friday for a gallop to help bring him on."
