STEEL CITY BOY had gone close over track and trip before winning easily at Warwick last time. He gets the nod back on this surface ahead of Itsthursdayalready, who may struggle off a 5lb higher mark after scoring here last time. Recent Yarmouth winner Miss Polly Plum could figure on her debut on this surface, but Accamelia couldn't follow-up her C&D victory when disappointing here last time. Clear Ice remains in the handicapper's grip but has place claims judged on his best form.
