Vinnie My Boy stepped up markedly on his first run when second at Ffos Las and is the type to improve with experience.

WESTERN MOVIE, a 135,000 euro purchase, is a half-brother to six winners including bumper horses Diamond Sal and Flash Of Genius and may well be good enough to make a winning debut for Nicky Henderson.
