Few make any appeal on recent form but HUNTERS STEP has gone close at Lingfield the last twice now and gets another chance having recently switched stables. Shyjack placed at Kempton last time having won at the same track earlier when ahead of My Footsteps while Elusif finished closer at Lingfield recently. Socru’s earlier placed efforts came at Southwell and Captain Pugwash seems better over further these days.
