If MIX DE GRIS settles better now venturing into handicap company for the first time in this sphere he may well prove to be on a good mark. Indeed, he chased home a subsequent Grade 2 runner-up on his second start over hurdles at Wetherby in November, form which reads pretty well in the context of this race. Away She Goes is another who could take a step forward now making her way into handicap company and she is second choice ahead of Don't Look Back and Powerofjet.
