Verdict

STEEL ALLY weakened out of things pretty quickly when last seen at Ffos Las in December yet, he'd previously shaped with plenty of encouragement when runner-up on his hurdles debut at that venue in November (despite bad mistake last) and is worth another chance to get back on track. C&D winner Dartmoor Pirate rates the chief threat, ahead of Salvatore and American Land.
