In depth
Verdict
Course regular STEEL NATIVE won over fences here last month and is 8lb higher back over the smaller obstacles. But his only success over hurdles so far came over 2m4f here and David Rees’ charge can go in again. Cottonvale looked on the way to recording his first win over timber last time but took a bad fall at the last at Hereford when clear of the rest while Get Wishing has placed since scoring at Chepstow in November and a conditional’s allowance helps his cause today. Great Tempo was placed over fences at Ludlow recently and could figure given he can can race off a 6lb lower mark reverting to hurdling.
