Just Marion beat JET MATE in a claimer over track and trip last time. But Bill Muir's charge re-opposes on much better terms back in a handicap and gets the nod to reverse running and take this. Sky Steps finished third in the above race and is also better off at the weights with Just Marion while Wink Oliver was placed for the fourth time in succession when third at Kempton. Robben finished just behind the latter on his latest start and should also go well.
