R ace Summary

BAND OF STEEL filled the runner-up spot on his racecourse bow at Chelmsford last month and the son of Golden Horn wouldn’t need to improve much from that effort to go one better on this occasion. Going To The Moon finished second at Nottingham on debut and he commands plenty of respect with that experience under his belt. Edge Of Darkness, who was fourth at Ripon, and High Honour are others capable of stepping forward. Win: BAND OF STEEL Danger: Going To The Moon
