Steady Away is dropped back in distance having shown nothing in his last two starts. He’d have a chance on his best form but we’ll take a chance on the less-exposed GIBRALTARIAN as he was bouncing off the fast ground at Newton Abbot last summer. Blumen Glory and Gaulois both have ability but have become a little disappointing.
