GENERAL OFFICER created a good impression when making every post a winning one on debut in this sphere over C&D and, with the promise of better to come, he is taken to follow up in this contest before going on to better things. Scottish Wind shaped well on his hurdles bow at Newcastle and should have a part to play in the finish, too.
