STEELY is penalised for his recent win on the Turf at Lingfield but this looks no tougher. He scored by over three lengths on that occasion and Gary Moore's charge should take care of fourth placed Pahente once again. Kucharova finished runner-up in the second division of the same handicap at Lingfield with Barbirolli back in fifth and looks the biggest threat to the selection as it's difficult to make a serious case for either Nicky Nutjob or Littlemissperfect.
