The vote goes to SMUGGLER'S BLUES, who was bang there when departing 2 out at Wincanton at the beginning of the month and, providing that fall hasn't left a mark, he can make amends here. Go Steady will likely prove popular on the back of his Lingfield success but he has yet to prove that he stays this far. Conversely, there are no stamina concerns surrounding Gwencily Berbas and Midnight Moss, with the former feared most now eased in grade off an attractive mark.
