LUCTOR EMERGO recorded a treble over 1m2f at Ayr last month. He was beaten only a half-length on his previous attempt over today's longer trip and with further progress likely, Keith Dalgeish's charge can confirm latest running with Arley Hall and Schmooze. The latter could prove the biggest threat as she steps up in trip as it was only a lowly seller that Fine Kingdom won at Beverley last time and he'll find this tougher. Coax looks best of the remainder if returning to form.
