LIFT ME UP has won three of his last four outings in points and most of his rivals have questions to answer so he's worth a chance to make a successful start under Rules. Caryto des Brosses arrives on the back of success at Southwell and ranks as an obvious danger, while Drop Flight can't be dismissed.
