SMART STEP is upped in class but her winning form in heavy ground earns her the vote. She ploughed through the mud to score at Carlisle and Hamilton last month and looks to be on the upgrade. Keys Of Cyprus scored at Ayr last time and remains on a winning mark, despite a 4lb rise, while Daneside beat Focail Eile in decent going at Sandown recently and the latter went close on the Polytrack on Wednesday. Icy Blue and Talent Scout both landed doubles in the summer but the former may handle today's surface the better.
