KING VIKTOR has stepped up considerably this spring, winning back-to-back handicaps at up to 12f in recent weeks. This even longer trip may unlock further progress and he can complete the hat-trick. Where's Steph is an interesting handicap debutante for Mick Easterby and is worth a look, along with Bar None.
