STEPPE DAUGHTER bids for a hat-trick off a 6lb higher mark. But that may not be enough to anchor Denis Coakley's filly who has won her previous two starts at Bath and Brighton with plenty in hand. Most of today's opposition are struggling for their best and Jakey was well beaten at Epsom last time having gone close at the same track earlier. A 7lb hike proved beyond previous Doncaster winner Dark Wave last time while Burano has been well beaten since scoring at Lingfield in May. Elkaayed has slipped down the handicap but has shown no benefit so far.
