In depth

Verdict

Steps And Stairs is capable on his day as when winning at Southwell back in June but he’s not the most reliable and failed to complete again back at the latter track last month. MAHLER LAD was pulled-up at Market Rasen on his chasing debut behind higher rated opposition than this. But first-time headgear should sharpen him up on his return and he gets a tentative vote. Fuhgeddaboudit put a string of poor efforts behind him to finish second over hurdles in May and has his first start over fences along with Moorstown and Tyre Hill, both well beaten over timber recently.
