Mister Brightside is a half-brother to three winners and maybe more forward than the Elusive Quality colt Quality Song but the newcomers will have to be useful to stay within touching distance of the two previous winners. Time Test is a half-brother to stayer Retirement Plan and was quite impressive when forging clear of a field of maidens over track and trip last month. But his performance was not as eye-catching as that of LATHARNACH (NAP) here earlier. He only had to be pushed out to beat subsequent winner Tom Hark with Elm Park, who won his next two, almost three lengths further away in third.
