TOTAL DEMOLITION took the step up in trip in his stride to land an apprentice's race over 1m2f here last time. Unpenalised for his latest success and a winner over 7f before that, the hat-trick beckons for Pat Phelan's charge. Birkdale Boy carries 6lb extra for last week's course and distance win when beating Vincenzo Coccotti and Toast Of Newbury with Siren's Cove further behind so Reflation makes more appeal with Ryan Moore taking over the reins.
