CONTINUOUS lacks a recent run but he was much improved in the second half of last year and will prove hard to beat if returning anywhere near that sort of level. Middle Earth did well to overcome a pace bias in a Newbury Group 3 last month and could easily have more to come, while Desert Hero is better judged on his excellent reappearance at Sandown.
