MAHOMES returned a disappointing joint-favourite on his debut but posted a much better effort upped to 1m2f at Bath in first-time blinkers. He should come out best with any further progress. Chalk Stream is another likely improver having finished second of only four runners at Yarmouth while Soapy Stevens placed in soft going at Nottingham on his debut and is preferred to stablemate and newcomer Carnival Craft. Doctor Parnassus is a half-brother to a winner and worth noting.
