Verdict

Not an easy race to find the winner of with six of the last seven renewals won by 25/1 shots or bigger. However, LETHAL STEPS looks to have a solid chance and if first-time headgear ekes out improvement; he ought to run well for a yard that have won two recent renewals of this race. Belargus could be an each-way contender at likely bigger odds if he gets into the race (second reserve) while Fine Brunello ran on well enough on trials day to suggest he could be suited by the nature of this race.
  1. Lethal Steps
  2. Belargus
  3. Fine Brunello
