A few of these have been in action in the point-to-point field. Killimordaly won at Dawstown in May while the step up in trip should suit Spencer Moon. Ussee's form looks better than that of Helamis but MAN OF STEEL (NAP) is taken to open his account after failing to take to fences last time. Earlier seconds at Worcester and a third at Aintree suggest he'll take all the beating in a race like this.
