Settle For Red has battled to narrow victories over a mile on his two latest starts but it's a long time since he ran over a trip this short and a 5lb rise may be enough to prevent a hat-trick. Split The Atom is consistent but has only won once in 19 starts and was behind CORECZKA here in October. The latter showed improved form on that occasion and with Oisin Orr again in the saddle she can complete a double. Zylan and Tribal Path were also behind and look held but the lightly-raced former Tim Easterby-trained Eye Glass should be winning soon judged on her opening run for new connections.
