      Verdict

      Man Of Steel was no match for Clonbanan Lad here in March but this looks easier. However, he had a hard race at Cheltenham last week and that may just have taken the edge off. BAY TO GO runs under Rules for the first time in almost a year but won at a point-to-point meeting here last month by eight lengths and can build on that. Hill Of Gold and In Fairness fared less well at the same meeting but Quinsman returned from a lay-off to finish second at Higham and should strip fitter today.
