The well-related Upton Road caught the eyes of many on his debut, as a very polished round of jumping saw him make a winning debut at Boulta. Cutting out much of the running, and jumping particularly well in the process, the son of sire of the moment Jeremy, began to stretch the field from the third last on the run for the home bend. It was once again his foot-perfect jumping over the final two fences which proved key and allowed him run out a one and a half-length winner over a more experienced rival. He looks a chaser for the future.
