Though LEIGHTON failed to live up to market expectations on debut at Kempton in November, it was an encouraging start to his career nonetheless and this well-bred colt can be expected to take a sizeable step forward. He gets the nod ahead of several other promising types, with Asia Force just about the pick of them ahead of Infraad and Sea Lantern.
