HONOURABLE ACTION found only one too good at Wolverhampton on his debut. The Godolphin charge finished just ahead of Illusive Force on that occasion and normal improvement can see him confirm superiority. The selection is also preferred to stablemate and newcomer Playmaker but Approaching Dawn looks a threat on his debut effort over track and trip with stable companion Weald Of Kent and Alboretta behind. Beau Knight is another likely improver stepping up in distance for this.
