There are three 11-year-olds in this and they could dominate proceedings. Man Of Leisure was third in a claimer at Worcester last time and Ciaran Gethings takes off 3lb. What A Steel wasn't disgraced when third in a handicap at Aintree nine days ago but was well beaten when ARCTIC COURT was second at Ayr in April. The winner of that race is a decent sort and the fourth has won since. Debt To Society stays well but was pulled up when last seen and has to concede weight all round.
