VULCAN took another sizeable step forward when doubling his career tally at Haydock 19 days ago, quickening up to lead over 1f out and drawing clear. The handicapper has applied further pressure but he's clearly going the right way and may be up to completing the hat-trick. Low-mileage Balzac and Kryptos, back in calmer waters/partnered by William Buick, head up the dangers.
