      Verdict

      Steady Gaze is up another 7lb after landing a double at Kempton over today's trip last month. He's sure to go close if handling the surface but will still need to improve to confirm latest running on worse terms with BLACKMORE. The latter has finished runner-up over C&D on his last two outings at this track and looks to have a good chance of going one better today. Rory Boy will find this tougher than the all-weather bumper he won here recently, but Aaman could figure on the back of last month's second over 1m6f. Salontyre finished behind the selection last time and Three White Socks remains 11lb higher than his win here last June.
