ANCIENT WISDOM couldn't have created a better impression on debut at Haydock two weeks ago, and he's very hard to oppose even under a penalty. Travolta has plenty to find with the selection, but shaped encouragingly on his Yarmouth debut and should progress. Never So Brave cost a pretty packet as a yearling and is an interesting newcomer.
