PROGENITOR got off the mark at Kempton last week on only his fourth start with both Black Dave and previous C&D winner Sekumkum behind. David Lanigan's charge can defy a penalty with further progress on the cards. Eastern Dragon is another open to improvement and he also ran well at Kempton last time while Autumn Shadow steps up a furlong after a third at the same track and she can figure. Keep Calm and Persian Wave have both shown some promise but disappointed on their latest outings while Moonlit Dancer looks to be treading water off her current mark.
