Confirmed the promise of his Windsor debut (6f, good to firm) when rewarding strong market support at Leicester last month (7f, good to firm); compromised his chance with a slow start in a Chester seller three weeks ago; makes nursery debut off a realistic mark and there is encouragement for AW on breeding.
