Veteran STEEL WAVE was behind Great D'Ange at Huntingdon back in December but has shown the better form since and, taking into account Tabitha Worsley’s claim, he’ll be receiving 12lb here from Do It For Thy Sen, who is penalised for completing a double at Uttoxeter on Saturday and has done most of his racing over shorter trips. O'Faolains Lad has had wind surgery since his third at Ffos Las but is struggling to recapture his best form.
