Meshardal has rattled-up a hat-trick already this year and may not have finished improving yet judged on his latest second at Thirsk. He beat both Whozthecat and Nezar on that occasion while Mukaynis is also progressing well but is upped 9lb for an easy win at Doncaster. DIRECT TIMES (NAP) was raised the same amount for scoring at Newmarket on his reappearance. But he beat previous winner For Ayman three lengths and there looks plenty more to come from Peter Chapple-Hyam's charge. Avon Breeze may yet be capable of scoring off her current mark while Signore Piccolo and Grissom are others capable of getting involved.
