A Little Bit Dusty steps up in trip in search of a hat-trick and should be thereabouts but Rythmic makes more appeal after beating the re-opposing Peachez over C&D last time. Foster's Road scored over timber on his latest start though is 7lb higher than when winning at Nottingham in August, but Passion Planet has a shout on his earlier win at Newcastle. However, ICEBUSTER caught the eye staying on well for third over 1m4f in better company at Kempton last time and gets the vote today as the longer trip should suit.
