LIHYAN has yet to fire this season, but he's down to a tempting mark as a result so he's one to be interested in as he drops in grade. The 5-y-o is taken to get the better of Copper Fox, who has also fallen a long way in the weights, while We Gotta Getaway could show more making his stable/handicap debut.
