SHORE STEP is still very well-handicapped on his old form and he's found some consistency in his more recent efforts. After a smart effort in a competitive race here last time, he may be able to take this step up in trip in his stride. Fit For Function is another on a workable mark and the gelding ought to run well if returning in the same form as his recent efforts. St Brelades Bay has course and distance form to his name and he's sure to appreciate the drop in trip here.
