CONTINUUM got off the mark when stepped up to today's trip at Haydock last month. Further progress is expected now handicapping and she's preferred to the more exposed types Dunhoy, who scored over 1m6f here last time and Noguchi, who landed a couple of all-weather claimers in April. Wordiness appeared not to last home over a longer trip at Wolverhampton last time but Villoresi makes more appeal with a recent comeback fourth at Leicester to build on. Street Entertainer was a losing favourite at Musselburgh on Friday but still makes most appeal of the remainder.
