Wayward Frolic won a seller at Leicester a week ago and this is not much tougher. He has 7lb extra to carry and STEEL SUMMIT has to cope with a double penalty having landed a hat-trick with a success at Doncaster last time. But Shane Quinlan's allowance negates a large chunk of that and the latter is just preferred to Running Wolf, runner-up at Fakenham last month when a couple of lengths ahead of Flash Tommie. Boher Lad and Sassanova are both struggling at present while He's A Bully has much to prove.
