The eye is drawn to those at the top of the weights, with PILLAR OF STEEL fancied to regain the winning thread back up to 2½m and go one better than on her last 3 outings at this track. Mulberry Hill was unable to make much of an impact in a tactical handicap at Uttoxeter last month but Fergal O'Brien's charge is put forward as the main danger today, ahead of Jaunty Soria, who made light of a 5-month absence when scoring over C&D back in May.
