In depth
Verdict
Steel Wave is defying the years and has won four times here including his last two starts over the distance. Sublime Heights won three times at Plumpton last winter but shot up the weights and looked a few pounds high when beaten there in March. ALLO ALLO won over hurdles on New Year's Day and ended the campaign with a victory over fences at Bangor in April. There looks more to come and he can make a successful reappearance. Jigginstown King is on a hat-trick after completing a double in May and will enjoy the quick conditions more than most.
