Sean Og (7/2), My Gift To You (4/1), Redbridge Rambler (9/2), Steps Match (5/1), Breakdance Kid (6/1), Big Bee Hive (10/1), Ocean Legacy (12/1), Ali Star Bert (28/1), Mister Bells (50/1)

Verdict

STEPS MATCH has made a fine start to life for new trainer Daragh Bourke and he can build an encouraging recent third at Hexham, travelling with plenty of enthusiam out in front until the track's gruelling latter stages took their tole, his mark having also dropped 2 lb in the interim. Sean Og finished one place ahead of the selection last time and has to be respected again, with Redbridge Rambler also fancied to step forward from his chase debut.
