Plenty of potential improvers on show, notably ENDEARED, who fared best of those held up when third at Doncaster on debut. Captain Winters is sure to benefit from his considerate introduction over 6f here 3 weeks ago and is another to consider, while Sea The Stars colt Desert Hero is a newcomer to note.
