LINE OF DESCENT has only landed an ordinary Hamilton maiden but did so with the minimum of fuss and looks fairly treated on handicap debut and against his elders for the first time. Previous efforts at Doncaster and Newmarket read well and he remains open to further progression after just four starts. Sea Me Win is another potential improver but lacks a recent run so a market check is advised. Bollin Neil and Thai Terrier may be best of the rest.
