Tweenhills Stud's first-crop sire Kameko (by Kitten's Joy) was off the mark on Wednesday as his son Wimbledon Hawkeye (GB) captured Kempton's seven-furlong novice for the Gredley Family who could be in for a big weeekend.

Willie Browne's unbeaten Port Augusta (GB), who racked up wins over six and seven furlongs at Dundalk over the winter, has been sold for "proper money" to Hong Kong.
