Verdict
Steig gets the confident vote here with Go Solo and Executive Paddy rating the main dangers. The selection gets the handy weight for age allowance and was a fair fourth behind At The Money last time out, he looks sure to improve and under conditions that suit he is hard to oppose. Go Solo rates the main danger on his best form, he looks sure to improve for this faster surface but he looks to have plenty of weight for what he has actually achieved. Executive Paddy is another that could go well on his best form but he is another that looks weighted up to his best. Of the remainder King Cyrus could improve for this faster ground but for the winner we return to Steig.
