ON A PROMISE quickened up in pleasing fashion when scoring in a small-field C&D handicap on his debut for this stable and, given the winning margin arguably underplayed his superiority, it would be no surprise were he to defy a 5-lb rise. Scottish Accent ranks as the main danger having been runner-up the last twice, while Ruinous shouldn't be dismissed if turned out quickly.
