A respectable case can be made for all but there are a couple which give the impression of having considerable scope for further progression. Made Of Honour certainly falls in that category and arrives here on the back of a third career success in just seven starts. Partnered by the in-form Ben Curtis, she is expected to go close. However, IFUBELIEVEINDREAMS boasts a similar profile and was seriously impressive when scoring on his reappearance at Newcastle last month. He was never in danger of defeat and seems sure to progress again, especially as he enjoys a fine record on artificial surfaces. Bint Arcano and Rose Berry are more exposed but they are both consistent and reliable sorts and should run their race once again in what looks an open affair for a good purse.
