As if a low-grade handicap with little form to go on wasn't tough enough, it's hard to see where the pace might come from here, and this is a race to treat with plenty of caution. STEEL HELMET would have a better turn of foot than a few of these, and given he comes here in good form, that's enough to earn him the vote. Sleepdancer might appreciate a longer trip and there are clues that better could be expected today. Market support would make him interesting, as it would both Mount Cleshar and Beechwood James. Guaracha and Carraigin Aonair hold place chances.
