Verdict
Flaming Marvel won over 1m4f here before scoring over track and trip and is 6lb higher bidding for a hat-trick. Collateral form has him closely matched with Technological and the latter has a shout while Bartholomeu Dias was last seen winning over 1m4f here in October and is 4lb higher on his return. Glan Y Gors steps up in trip along with KING’S ADVICE (NAP) but the latter makes most appeal. He’s won both starts with plenty in hand since joining Mark Johnston and is taken to defy a further rise in the weights with this extra distance likely to suit.
