Dangerous Thought never threatened when sent off favourite for his racecourse debut at Lingfield and finishing third. Jintshi failed to show the expected progress at the same track last time but Carry Me Home finished closer on his latest start and steps up in trip. New Legend could have been found an easier maiden in which to make his debut and is worth noting but a tentative vote goes to RIVERS OF ASIA, second to subsequent Group 3 third Return Of The Mak in a maiden at Redcar in October.
