SANCTION justified support on her handicap debut for an in-form yard at Nottingham juts over 6 weeks ago and with further progress anticipated, Ed Bethell's 3-y-o gets the nod to follow up as her stamina is further drawn out. Squeezbox is in fine form at present so Mick Appleby's 4-y-o could be the one to give the selection most to think about, with The Dancing Poet and Shazam another couple worthy of consideration.
