CRUISING BYE is just 1lb higher in the ratings than when he scored over C&D in May and, having begun life with this trainer over hurdles last month in relatively pleasing fashion, he's fancied to come on for the run and mount a bold bid back over larger obstacles. Steps And Stairs returned from an absence to score at Sedgefield last time and, despite a hike, can go well on a C&D where he has done so before while Moorstown and Spirit Of Hale are the best of the remainder.
