Most of these step up in trip including Frantastic, who won over 1m2f here in August. Tathbeet has scored over the same distance while novice winner Juan Bermudez is fitted with a tongue-tie on his first outing since April. BENY NAHAR ROAD is another making his handicap debut having placed over 1m4f on a couple of occasions but he can include a winning hurdler among his relatives and looks sure to relish this extra distance. Caraghann failed to win in France and debuts for a new yard.
