Steelriver saves his best for the all-weather having won three times at Wolverhampton this year and Billyoakes is another who does his winning on artificial surfaces nowadays. B Fifty Two is usually thereabouts but rarely gets his head in front while the likes of Fard and Joey Boy have yet to win anywhere. But SPIRIT OF ZEBEDEE likes it here having won three times before including off today’s mark last autumn and John Quinn’s charge gets the vote to return to winning ways.
