BATTLE OF RIDGEWAY opened his account in this sphere before following up with an impressive chasing debut here 3 weeks ago, so this progressive 5yo is well worth a chance to complete the hat-trick off an appealing mark. Duke Otto and Herculaneum, who filled the first two positions in a handicap hurdle at the same meeting, should also give a good account once more.
