Verdict
Oxaldo was pulled-up on his only previous start over fences back in 2011 and Steel Summit was still beaten a distance when third at Warwick on his recent return. That should leave the way clear for last month's runner-up HAVE YOU HAD YOURS, who just missed out in a tight finish at Ayr when his rider dropped his whip.
