Verdict
VICTOIRE DE LYPHAR steps up a grade after a further 8lb rise for landing a hat trick with a victory at Redcar. But Ruth Carr's charge wasn't unduly troubled to beat subsequent winner Johnny Cavagin last time and he's worth sticking with. Life Partner hasn't progressed as expected after winning over track and trip in August while Majestic Moon scored at Goodwood in the same month and has looked in the handicapper's grip since. Czech It Out is upped in class and Hillbilly Boy is preferred back over his best trip.
