NARYNKOL, who hasn't been with Charles Byrnes for long, is well handicapped on the form he showed at this venue earlier in the year so might be worth siding with under a rider who is good value for his 7 lb claim. Storm Steps and Dame Rapide have been in excellent form here of late and head the dangers.
