Verdict

STEEL SUMMIT has won seven times in the last 12 months, including once here. He has another career-high mark to defy after his latest victory at Wincanton but is clearly thriving with racing and should take all the beating again. Buachaill Alainn may be the danger as he stayed on late behind Red Devil Lads over a longer trip here in April, though Bandit Country is better than he showed at Uttoxeter last time having won over 2m6f at Newbury earlier. Houston Dynimo is better treated over hurdles at present and it was in that sphere in which he finished fourth at Exeter last month.
