With three weeks still to go to the closure of the Springbok, Jaytee Seville produced the sort of performance that might be expected of a dog of his calibre with a 29.53 trial over Wimbledon’s 480m hurdle course.
Olympic winner Thatchers Champ (28.75) was quickest with the hurdles removed.
Over two bends (273m flat), Airfield Paudie (16.03) outshone early pace specialist Wee Tiger Tots (16.15), though Brinkleys Miami (16.13) Ballymac Bocko (16.12) Ballymac Brogan (16.18) and stayer Chicago (16.26) also surely impressed connections.
Meanwhile at Crayford, Triumph Hurdle 1-2 Jetstream Reason and Lenson Razldazl clocked identical 23.49 returns for the 380m courses course, a time also equalled by course specialist Soviet Military.
Millwards Master clocked a best-of-day 45.60 over the Golden Jacket course, nine spots quicker than Hove runner Zulu Baran.
Touch Tackle recorded a disappointing 23.90 (Rls Mved off 1) over the standard.
