N Over J came up short when sent off favourite in this lowly grade at Newcastle earlier in the week so HUNTERS STEP looks worth sticking with. Nigel Tinkler’s charge made no mistake at the latter track last week when scoring over today’s trip and the third has already boosted the form by winning. Roca Magica landed a classified contest at Chelmsford recently and should go well again while the Irish raider Dayereh can get involved with a repeat of an earlier third at Dundalk. But Amber Rock’s recent placed effort came at Southwell and Optima Petamus drops down in trip.
