Independent Rose and Moonshine Ridge were both well beaten in the same race over track and trip last time, despite the former finishing third. STEP ON IT makes more appeal after going close at Wolverhampton on his last couple of outings and David Loughnane's charge has every chance on today's terms if handling the surface. My Tringaling appeared not to stay 1m5f when placed at Chelmsford last week and may prove best of the remainder.
