SHIMMERING SANDS confirmed the promise of his reappearance in no uncertain terms fitted with a tongue tie at Doncaster 3 weeks ago, looking some way ahead of his mark in the process. The assessor has reacted with a 6 lb rise but that looks lenient, so he's the one to be with. Prophet's Dream is an improving 4-y-o chasing a hat-trick so demands respect, with Million Thanks completing the shortlist.
