Oriental Relation has Steelriver back in fourth when winning at Wolverhampton in December while the latter finished third here subsequently when ahead of UNDER SIEGE. But Stuart Williams’ charge was having his first start since winning at Newmarket in September and is taken to turn the tables and come out best today. Florencio also has something to find with Steelriver but Vimy Ridge has been thereabouts recently and He's My Cracker has a shout off his current mark.
