It's worth chancing METIER to build on his fourth in a strong Ascot handicap before Christmas as he's starting to look well handicapped on his Tolworth form of last season and this deep ground should suit him. Irish-raiders Carrarea and Lucky Max likely have more to offer and are feared most ahead of Chti Balko.
