Calivigny finished off strongly when scoring at Carlisle, so is perhaps unsurprisingly upped in trip. However, the suspicion remains that he's best suited by that particular track and he is taken on with both Lough Derg Farmer and GERONIMO. Sandy Thomson saddled a big race winner here recently in the shape of Harry The Viking (Borders National), and another success for his 7yo gelding rates as a distinct possibility despite a 7lb weights rise for winning at Ayr in November. This extended 3m2f trip is well within range.
