Friday’s Haydock winner Dog Fox is an absentee but Ed Dunlop still has DAMASCUS STEEL in the line-up and it’s about time the grey was getting his head in front having found only one too good in three outings so far this year. Ciara Storm could be the danger in first-time blinkers, though Cosmic View also makes his handicap debut. Lady Of Arabia was well beaten on her reappearance here two weeks ago but did win on Polytrack last year.
