Father Time, a full brother by Dansili to former Warren Place star Passage Of Time, made a most satisfactory debut display when scoring in the 1m maiden.
Jockey Tom Queally switched him off in mid-division before gradually bringing his mount into the race from over 2f out.
Father Time travelled smoothly on the bit to lead at the furlong-pole and ran on in promising fashion to win by a length.
The way he finished his race suggested he’ll get further as his career unfolds and he shaped like a nice prospect for 2009.
An hour later and it was the turn of stable-mate Doncosaque to find the Great Leighs’ winner’s enclosure for Cecil and Queally.
The Xaar colt got off the mark as the market suggested he would when running away with the 1m claimer.
On what was his sixth start, Doncosaque tracked the speed before leading over 1f out and then being ridden clear for a three-and-a-half length victory to land odds of 8/11.
