Star WitnessTrained by Vaughan Marshall, Lord Balmoral ran out an easy length and three-quarter winner of the 1200 metre sprint and has now three of seven starts.

He becomes the fourth winner from four to race for Balmoral Belle, a half-sister by Zabeel to former smart stayer Scouting Wide and hails from a family not lacking in quality middle distance performers.
