Verdict

The Gordon Elliott yard boast a 19% strike rate at this venue with his runners in early to mid February and his Cheveley Park Stud-owned LETHAL STEPS can land the spoils here following a solid second of 24 beaten 5L behind Konitho at Naas over 2m last month. The gelding shaped as though a step up in trip would suit and the four-year-old can hold off the attentions of C&D second of 15 last month, Lighthouse Warrior, Noel Meades potential improver, Young Ted and the Jessica Harrington-trained Discordantly. Glamorgan Duke and Take Revenge will be looking to support Albert Bartlett and Ballymore novice entries at the festival.
