Youth Spirit is SW36 for Camelot winning the Gr3 Chester Vase (1m 4-1/2f).
Settled just behind the leader Wirko to the home turn, Youth Spirit was forced to wait for clear room two furlongs out before finding a gap and running to the lead inside the final furlong to go clear and defeat Sandhurst (Galileo) by a widening 1-3/4 lengths with Fancy Man (Pride Of Dubai) in third.
It is the third win from five starts for Youth Spirit, previously placed in the Gr3 Vintage Stakes.
He is the only named foal out of Rocana (Fastnet Rock), an unraced half-sister to Gr2 Gimcrack Stakes at York winner Blaine (Avonbridge), 2YO Trophy at Redcar winner Bogart (Bahamian Bounty) and Gr3 Prix Eclipse at Chantilly runner-up Legal Attack (Shalaa).
Youth Spirit is 3×5 Sadler’s Wells and 4×3 Danehill and Derby winner Camelot (Montjeu) has Gr1 winners Sir Dragonet and Russian Camelot with Sadler’s Wells as their maternal grandsire with the Irish Oaks winner Even So out of a mare by Danehill.
