Steady Away never threatened the winner when runner-up at Exeter but Winged Isle ran well for second in a higher grade at Ludlow last month. Steady The Ship steps up in trip and is another to consider now handicapping but SAINT PALAIS also has plenty of scope making his handicap debut having found only one too good at Newbury when finishing in front of a subsequent winner. The latter gets the vote with Those Tiger Feet disappointing last time after winning at Ayr earlier and Joueur Bresilien returning to hurdles having won over fences at Stratford recently.
