The Resdev Way has won three of his last four starts over track and trip but has a 9lb hike to contend with and TECTONIC (NAP) can reverse earlier running on more favourable terms. The latter has subsequently gone close again here and Keith Dalgliesh’s charge is preferred to Mutadaffeq, still beaten six lengths when runner-up over course and distance last time. Age of Elegance has looked high enough in the weights since landing a double at Beverley in August but Street Artist has slipped down the handicap and was placed in an amateurs’ race at Kempton last week.
