Zero Carbon has shown a fine attitude to land a three-timer and remains open to further progress after just four starts. He'll make the running again and should go well but WHITEBEAM is on a similar upward curve and was entered in the Listed contest earlier on the card, suggesting connections hold her in some regard. She's a keen sort but further improvement will be forthcoming when she learns to settle better so she is taken to complete the hat-trick. Eldrickjones returns from a gelding operation and Liamarty Dreams may be in the handicapper's grip so Thunder Legend looks best of the rest with William Haggas applying a first-time tongue tie and cheekpieces to the gelding.
