Steer Clear has never won but has gone very close the last twice, only just failing to concede a massive 20lb to Enduring Love at Fairyhouse last time. He had earlier been beaten just over a length by KAVANAGHS CORNER over 2m here and the winner was unfortunate when attempting a double at Gowran as he had to be pulled up after putting his leg through the reigns. Compensation awaits Henry De Bromhead's charge here. Disco Musik wasn't beaten far in the selection's race here though looked to have every chance as did sixth-placed Dontdooddson.
