        Verdict

        STEED ended last year on a winning note when scoring over C&D. Kevin Ryan's charge has scope for further improvement and is taken to follow up off a 4lb higher mark. Buzz Bird finished well behind the selection last month and has run poorly again since while Bentley looks high enough in the weights now after winning here in December. Positivity won twice over C&D at this time last year and returned to form when runner-up over 7f here recently. He's preferred to Gordy Bee, who was a well beaten second in a maiden at this track last time.
