MADAJOVY is on the upgrade now and can get off the mark over a trip which may prove to be his optimum. Eton Mes had excuses when unable to land the hat-trick last time and remains of interest despite his new mark kicking in. Noble Blue made an encouraging start for new connections when second over hurdles here and he completes the shortlist.
