QAZAQ made it 3 wins from 3 starts when scoring on handicap debut at Southwell in November, idling final 1f but holding off a fellow improver, and he can continue his progression to add to his tally. Popmaster arrives on the back of a good third at listed level and isn't taken lightly, with Apiarist also considered after his C&D success last time.
