Brockey Rise won over 7f here last time and should confirm running with third-placed Christmas Night, despite worse terms. Two Seas is penalised for winning at Kempton but has scope for further progress while Fantasy Justifier wasn’t beaten far off today’s mark here recently and is another to consider. SKYVA ended last year with a victory over track and trip and, having finished in front of Babyfact when beaten less than a length here last week, Brian Ellison’s charge makes most appeal.
