A dual winner over hurdles, STEELY ADDITION (NAP) made a promising start over fences when third at Ffos Las on his first start since April. He'll know more today and is preferred to stablemate Vodka All The Way with a bold bid expected. Flemcara was beaten a long way behind the selection at Ffos Las on his chasing bow while Kayf Blanco has a shout on last season's placed efforts over fences. Progressive hurdler Yalltari could go well on his first start over the larger obstacles with Mount Rushmoore another chasing newcomer to note for Colin Tizzard's yard.
