Verdict

MILITARY TWO STEP stayed on strongly up Beverley's stiff 1m2f to win going away and the longer trip can enable him to defy a penalty. Last Light was never travelling like a winner at Windsor though could be suited by easier ground conditions but the main threat is likely to come from Line Of Descent, who got outpaced over 1m2f on good ground at Doncaster before running on at the finish.
