      Verdict

      This should concern Two Steps to Go and Mr Blue Sky. The latter may well need the outing after a lay off, so preference is for Two Steps To Go. David Baron's gelding, faced a difficult task when seen last on the fibresand, attempting to give weight to the much improved Elheba and a reproduction of that would be good enough in this. Londolozi Lad, won a couple of low key events in January, but will find this much tougher.
