A weak contest but SUPREME STEEL looked like placing when falling at the last on his latest start having earlier won over course and distance under today’s conditional. Kaphumor finished runner-up at Plumpton in April and has since switched yards while To The Limit placed over a shorter trip here at the start of the season and should be sharper for a recent comeback. Bobbie The Dazzler finished a bit closer at Ayr last time and Asking For Answers won over track and trip at the end of last year.
