THREAD OF GOLD confirmed the improvement he showed in handicaps when posting a good fifth in a Leopardstown Group 3 a couple of months ago, that despite not being seen to best effect. He looks a big player tackling listed company for the first time and shades preference over low-mileage, improving pair The Austrian and Golden Splendour. Contorsion and In My Teens also command respect in an interesting finale.
