The four-year-old, driven bv his part-owner and trainer. Ross Given, was privately timed to pace, his last 800 m in Imin 2.2 sec, the closing 400 m in a a sharp 28.6 sec. on a day when conditions were against fast times. Sapling .which recorded 3min 2.lsec for the 2200 m, paraded in bright order and looks sufficiently forward to make a big impression in the \ddington race.
