GALLIC GEORDIE takes a step up in class but it's been hard not to be impressed with the manner of his back-to-back Lingfield victories in recent months and he's fancied to make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick under a penalty. Early du Lemo and Heart of A Lion are others to consider, along with Makka Pakka.
