CONTINUUM completed a double at Haydock and Salisbury only to run into a well-handicapped sort in Chancery on his return to the Lancashire track. The winner followed up at York and Lady Cecil's charge can return to winning ways. Statutory will provide stiff opposition judged on a fine placed effort behind Royal Skies at Ascot, which was only his fourth start. Masquerading looked to be feeling the fast ground at Doncaster last month and could do with some rain but Sunny Future certainly won't have a problem with either the ground or trip and still looks reasonably treated despite winning three of his last four.
