SULWAAN improved from his debut to win well last time out and is taken to follow up at the expense of Professor John and Dashing Doc. The selection showed a huge improvement while winning at Beverley on his second career start and with conditions once again in his favour he will be difficult to oppose. Professor John did win at Brighton back in July but he has failed to trouble the judge since then so should be treated with caution. Dashing Doc has continued to improve with experience and broke his maiden tag at Newmarket on the sixth time of asking. His rating of 78 looks realistic and he should once again be competitive. Sulwaan looks a horse on the up grade and is worth staying on the right side of for the time being.
