TREACHEROUS looks worth sticking with as he bids for a four-timer raised only 2lb. His last two victories came over track and trip and there looks more to come given he made up lots of late ground to beat Global Academy, Choice Encounter, Compas Scoobie and Kodiline last time. Global Academy looks the biggest threat on only his second outing since June while Reckless Endeavour slips further down the weights and is preferred to the returning Lightning Charlie, who scored over course and distance in October.
