Verdict

Mecca's Hot Steps has been knocking on the door and is entitled to be thereabouts again. Northern Charm only weakened in the closing stages when third last time at Catterick but Al Mansoura may do better over an extra furlong. SPRING BLOOM was second twice over 5f last summer. He’s raced over 6f since and achieved a rating of 71 which may be good enough to win this, though he needs forging a poor run last time at Ayr.
