Grandee Daisy had Nicky Baby back in third when winning one of these events over track and trip last week and should be thereabouts at the finish again. But HUNTERS STEP landed a handicap at Newcastle before running well again at the same track last week and Nigel Tinkler’s charge may just edge this. Voice of A Leader and Roca Magica filled the places in a handicap at Wolverhampton last month but the latter has been well beaten since while Kodi Koh has plenty to find with the selection.
