SLADE STEEL continued his rapid progress over hurdles when running out a good winner of the Supreme at Cheltenham, doing well in the circumstances having fluffed the last flight. He has the potential to rate higher still and can confirm form over recent Aintree 1-2 Mystical Power and Firefox. Tullyhill, a disappointment at the Festival, isn't underestimated either.
