BARROLO took another step forward as he made it 4 wins from 5 starts in handicaps with a bit to spare at Newmarket 3 weeks ago and, still unexposed at this trip, all looks set fair for another big run from Grant Tuer's progressive 3-y-o. Fellow 3-y-o Fleur de Mer is improving herself and feared along with Western Beat. Queen of Sparta is one to note in the betting now handicapping for her shrewd stable.
