It's hard to get away from the hat-trick seeking PURSUING STEED here despite a rising handicap mark. The gelding has proved a completely different proposition since going handicapping and, unlike some in this race, won't be inconvenienced by any significant ease in the going. Delfie Lane hinted at a return to winning ways at Chepstow last time and merits a place on any short-list over this extra furlong whilst Chica De La Noche and Coastal Cyclone could offer some bigger price each-way value.
