Eeetee completed a double on Turf earlier this year and is not out of this dropping back down a grade but Baby Steps has something to prove over this far having won at Wolverhampton last month. BORGI (NAP) is also upped in distance but won with plenty in hand at Wolverhampton on his handicap debut and Adam Farragher’s allowance negates most of a 4lb rise. Dinoo placed over track and trip recently and is preferred to Tequilamockingbird of the rest.
