      Verdict

      Strong Steps drops back down in class but has just the one win in 34 starts on Turf while Alexandrakollontai can race off a lower mark on this surface but was well beaten at Beverley last time. ZODIAKOS is a rare winner nowadays but usually runs his race and after placing at Pontefract on his latest start, Roger Fell’s charge gets the vote in a weak contest. Majeste last won in 2016 but has gone close off today’s mark in the past while a change of scenery may do Chinese Spirit some good as he debuts for a new yard on his reappearance.
