Sir Geoffrey produced a real shock at Catterick last week as he'd become something of a specialist at Southwell. He has a penalty to carry but has won from higher marks so has to be considered. ADIATOR hasn't had much racing for her age and is starting to fulfil her potential. The Redcar maiden she won in soft ground in October has worked out well and though she had a battle to beat Flying Clarets on her reappearance at Newcastle she'll come on for the run and a 4lb rise may prove lenient. Lees Anthem will love the conditions and almost made all over track and trip in heavy going last month before another decent effort at Newcastle. Iggy has only run once over this trip when staying on strongly at Musselburgh so this stiff track will be in his favour.
