BARRIER PEAKS has thrived since going up in trip this year, completing his 4-timer at Uttoxeter last month despite the race not being run to suit, and an 8 lb rise for his latest success might not be enough to prevent him winning again. The biggest threat could be Weaver's Answer as he goes up in trip, with Immortal Fame completing the shortlist.
