This is more competitive than the race Fact Or Fable won over track and trip a fortnight ago while Dynakite returned a beaten favourite at Southwell having won here before that. ONE STEP BEYOND (NAP) is back on a winning mark and having finished a creditable third at Lingfield despite a wide trip, he gets the vote fitted with blinkers for the first time. Luscifer and Rectory Road make most appeal of the remainder off their current marks.
