Verdict
Peppay Le Pugh showed the benefit of a slide down the weights when runner-up at Uttoxeter earlier this month and finished well ahead of third-placed Back To Balloo but he was due to race last night at Taunton. QUILL ART and Steel City were both placed earlier this year but have disappointed subsequently but the former may be worth one more chance in a modest heat. Stepover has also run poorly since winning at Doncaster in January but Theredballoon has won here and was second at the track when last seen in action, though that was in 2015.
