Dr Darcey has been thereabouts on several occasions and the application of blinkers could bring about further improvement. Miskin Diamond ran a little better when stepped up in trip at Leicester while Golestan Palace has hinted at ability, though Newbury fourth Like A Boy probably has more scope. Carlisle winner Tidal Run is easily passed over after reverting to type again at Lingfield next time, however, so we'll take a chance on UNDULANT WAY. Bred to appreciate the longer trip, Amanda Perrett's filly was an eye-catcher on her return at Windsor after being left in the stalls and is probably on a decent mark at present.
