The betting suggested BIFF JOHNSON would run a big race for his new yard during the week. He duly won over track and trip by over four lengths and can defy a 6lb penalty on that evidence. Enriching won here in November but was well behind the selection last time and I'm Harry looks a bigger threat having slipped down the weights and placing at Kempton last time. Runaiocht has gone close in lower grade handicaps of late while Viserion remains unexposed and could get involved if this longer trip suits.
