Verdict
All of Half Way's three victories have been over 7f but Bonjour Steve loves the track though some rain wouldn't go amiss. The three-year-old Dylan's Storm was in the lead at this trip when scoring easily over an extra furlong at Brighton and has to be a threat despite a penalty while Mad Endeavour is running well and followed his Wolverhampton success with a very good run at Goodwood. He'll be difficult to keep out of the frame but MAN OF MUSIC, who was making his handicap debut and returning from a long break when narrowly beaten at Lingfield three weeks ago, is handed the vote. Haadeeth was engaged in a seller at Windsor last night.
