        Verdict

        I'M IMPROVING belied his inexperienced to finish a close third on debut earlier this month and he can go one better in this novice contest. The selection was slowly away and shaped as if he'd appreciate further on that occasion and is taken to get the better of debutant Buckstopper Kit who is related to a number of useful performers in the US. Of the remainder Ayutthaya catches the eye on paper and he can claim third.
