DISTINCTION (5) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second at Beverley two starts back then got the job done by 1.75 lengths as favourite last time out over 2000m at Pontefract. P J McDonald scored on him last time and retains the ride. Steps up a level but he is worth serious consideration. SWIFT SALIAN (1) finished second two runs back at Thirsk then improved last time out to score by 1.3 lengths as favourite over 1700m at Hamilton Park. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. POET'S DAWN (4) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when second over 1600m at Ripon when he was in the firing line all the way. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. WE STILL BELIEVE (10) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 1.75 lengths away in second over 2000m at Pontefract. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
