Verdict

SOYOUTHINKSOAGAIN landed the odds without too much fuss when last seen at Stratford in October and with this step up in trip likely to unlock further improvement, he makes plenty of appeal. Tide Times tasted success over this C&D a month ago and may have more to offer, with Poppa Poutine another to make a winning start in handicaps last time.
