        Verdict

        The weaker of the two divisions and STRONG STEPS can take advantage back over a mile having ran into trouble over 7f here earlier in the week. He can go close off his current mark with a clear run. Khazaf is still looking for his first win but finished runner-up over track and trip a fortnight ago while Bawaader was demoted having passed the post first at Musselburgh in September when last racing over today’s trip. Newmarket Warrior and Stoney Lane may prove best of the rest.
