Martyn Meade is set to hand impressive Nottingham scorer Barley an entry or two at Royal Ascot after removing him from Qipco 2000 Guineas contention.
The Mehmas colt got off the mark with a cosy length success over Post Impressionist in an extended mile novice event.
However, despite at one time holding an entry in the Newmarket colts’ Classic, the Aquis Farm and Manton Park-owned three-year-old will now be given a little more experience before flying higher.
Barley (Mehmas) ran well in the Golden Horn maiden here last term and strikes in the opener for @MMeadeRacing and @rob_hornby18 at @NottsRacecourse.
Post Impressionist is likely to go in a few trackers there in second… 👀 pic.twitter.com/kUy7QRbSiJ

“I think we might look at a race at Doncaster on Guineas day (May 1) or one at Ascot. We might take in one of those on the way.
