WITNESS STAND continued his fine season with a comfortable victory in the Listed Dubai Duty Free Cup at Newbury.

Owned by the Bronte Collection, the son of Expert Eye won at Glorious Goodwood in handicap company before a creditable second at the Sussex venue a month ago.

With a rating of 108, we felt he deserved his chance bank in Stakes company and he has duly obliged in the hands of Kieran Shoemark.

He was always to to the fore and when Kieran said 'Go' he soon went clear and never saw another rival, winning by three lengths.

Tom said: "He's not the biggest but he keeps on improving - he has won on fast and slow ground - flat and undulating tracks and is a really lovely horse to have in the yard.

"He'll head to the Challenge (Stakes Gr2) at Newmarket next."
