Hugo Palmer has sent out the last two winners so it's safe to assume STRONG STEPS will cope with the rise in class. The latter went close at Kempton last month and should make a bold bid. Ifwecan is another to consider on the back of a second at Newmarket while Outer Space finished ahead of Santefisio when beaten less than a length over 7f at the same track last time. Czech It Out also won over 7f here on his reappearance and has a chance off top weight but Third Time Lucky may be in the handicapper's grip now and recent Ascot winner Hannington is preferred. Rembrandt and Wind In My Sails are upped in class but Toga Tiger and Volunteer Point are at home in this grade and could go well.
