WATER TO WINE has looked something out of the ordinary in landing each of his 2 starts to date, impressive umder hands-and-heels riding when following up his Newbury debut success at Kempton 23 days ago. Remaining with considerable potential, he's a fascinating runner pitched into pattern company and he earns the vote. Causeway responded generously to pressure when extending his winning run to 4 at the Curragh and is a big threat upped in trip. Golden Story may emerge next best.
