The main attraction {no pun intended} of the visit was a glimpse of 2000 Guineas hope 'Awzaan', who looked stunning on the 6 furlong all-weather gallop under Richard Hills, who had flown in especially to work the Alhaarth colt.
Awzaan (striped-cap) worked with lead horse Cry of Freedom and Johnston explained that it would not be the norm to work a 3-year old with an older horse, such is the maturity shown by last years Gr.2 Mill Reef and Gr.1 Middle Park Stakes winner.
Question marks over the bays ability to stay the guineas mile were firmly refuted by both Johnston and Hills, and 10/1 could prove to be a big price for the first classic of the season on May 1.
