Having displayed a fair level of ability at Wincanton and Warwick, MECENE may well prove equal to this task. His pedigree offers hope that there is better to come and it was a potentially very useful juvenile that he finished third to at Warwick last time. Sixty's Rock is also open to improvement and is next on the list ahead of Dakota Star and newcomers Another Enki and See Me Later.
