STEER CLEAR made a winning reappearance over track and trip. Third All The Chimneys is 5lb better off but doesn’t have the same scope of his younger rival, on whom Aidan Kelly again takes off 7lb. Niccolai is returning to action but has slipped to a competitive mark and Rachael Blackmore rides. Jack Dillinger and Dakota Moirette head the weights but represent powerful yards and it would be no surprise to see them in the firing-line along with the race-fit Dollar Value and Crazywork De Vassy.
