Unless the market suggests otherwise, ONE SMALL STEP should be the one to be on in this as he finished ahead of a subsequent winner when second at Newmarket. He would probably have got closer to the winner that day had he not missed the break. Performance Poet showed promise when third at Wolverhampton last month and there should be more to come from Aspiration. Rhyme Scheme and Don't Tell Claire are the most exposed but have place claims again and Evolica could be a newcomer to monitor.
