WILLOW BECK looked in trouble at one point at Sandown last time but picked-up well in the closing stages to land a hat-trick. Still learning, John Gosden's filly can continue winning ways with more to come. Theodore Gericault has found life tough off his current mark since winning at Pontefract in May but is still preferred to the more exposed recent winners On My Own and Livia's Dream. Flow could prove a bigger threat on his handicap and seasonal debut while Classic Punch was engaged to run at Beverley yesterday.
