WORTHILY ran no sort of race in the Derby following a winning start at Newbury, but it was interesting connections pitched him in at the deep end and he remains one to keep onside this year given his smart pedigree. Untold Story got the job done on his second start at Wolverhampton and can go on improving, while Seagulls Nest will be suited by a return to trip and is also in the mix.
