PASSING WELL has made a bright start over fences, going one better than on his chase debut when scoring in game fashion at Lingfield a month ago. He can continue his progress to follow up over this longer trip, though Walking On Air possesses the physique for chasing and isn't taken lightly, while Golden Son remains capable of better in this sphere.
