Verdict

With the Henry Oliver stable in good form (double at Chepstow on Monday) the consistent STEPS AND STAIRS is taken to add to his two wins he’s already gained for the yard around a course that appears to suit him well. A few of these need to bounce back from disappointing runs last time out including Voie Dans Voie and Rhaegar both of whom have shown promise initially over fences. Irish Octave has been dropped a couple of pounds since his last run but he’s another one who runs this course well and if he can get going a little earlier than usual he would be a threat. Holdbacktheriver may still be on a stiff mark but was given a considerate introduction to chasing and there may be more to come.
