Nothing in this has run more than twice and a number are open to any amount of improvement. After a fair debut, Gold Show stayed on late to snatch fourth place in a Listed race at Newbury though the merit of that form is questionable. INITIATOR was a real eye-catcher on his introduction at Newmarket in August. By Motivator, his dam won over this longer trip so there should be no question of him lasting home and he could be one to follow this year. Jeremy Noseda's colt gets the nod though Salford Dream will be interesting when his stamina is brought into play and Lone Foot Laddie hinted at ability last year.
