Verdict
MASTEROFPERFECTION left previous efforts behind when making all at Lingfield with cheekpieces applied and the step back up to 10f could see further improvement. He's fancied to follow up at the main expense of Carlyle Square, who has been knocking on the door in similar events. Lights Go Down finished strongly at Wetherby despite pulling hard early and remains open to improvement
