The progressive ALRAASED looks up to defying top weight. The C&D winner scored over a shorter trip here last week and John Dunlop's colt doesn't look to have stopped improving yet. Chapter And Verse is 3lb higher than when winning here in August but is dropped in class today while Rio Grande ran well at a big price in similar company at Redcar last time and is another to consider. Net Whizz opened his account over C&D and could go close on his handicap debut while Angelic Upstart has place claims once again.
