In depth

Verdict

Hunters Step opened his account with a victory over track and trip last month when fitted with a tongue-tie but the headgear is missing today. Ritchie Star failed to threaten the winner when runner-up here recently while Midnight In Havana and Don't Be Surprised placed over 7f on their latest starts. DECORATION OF WAR was only fourth in a seller at Wolverhampton last time but was up against higher rated opposition than this and a chance is take on Mick Appleby’s charge returning to winning ways with the remainder harder to recommend.
