WITHHOLD has been a short-priced beaten favourite in his last four starts, all over 1m4f. The longer trip may bring about a change of fortune as none of his rivals inspire confidence. Satish started out with a good run over 7f at Ascot in September but he's another to let supporters down in his two runs at Newmarket this season. Arthur McBride won a handicap hurdle over an extended 2m7f at Uttoxeter so there's no doubt he will stay and Crystal Path, who is a half-sister to St Leger winner Rule Of Law and other useful winners, wouldn't need to be special to make a successful debut.
