Free Verse looked one to follow after an impressive debut at Windsor and ran so poorly at Newbury that it couldn't have been her true form. Mahkama comfortably landed a Kempton maiden but was a big disappointment when she was well beaten on a return visit. Safari Storm is another to have disappointed as he was soon outpaced at Sandown where he didn't look suited by soft going. With some give in the ground likely, THE NOBLE ORD can continue his progress as he looked well suited to the conditions when coming with a late run to score comfortably at Salisbury.
