FormscanBy Gary Carson - STEEL BULL can bounce back to winning ways here. He wasn't helped by the winner drifting right in the closing stages in the Flying Childers over in Doncaster last time but it was still a fine run to finish fifth in a strong Group 2 contest. It was a better effort than we saw in the Phoenix Stakes previously, although that was understandable as he broke three teeth off the stalls, and on overall form he looks the class act here. He is fancied to turn the tables now on Measure Of Magic, despite being worse off at the weights with the filly who finished third in Doncaster. Frenetic was a touch disappointing in the Flying Childers but can't be discounted if coming back to her previous form. New Treasure drops back in trip after running freely early on when runner-up in the Blenheim Stakes at Fairyhouse last time. He's a talented sort and it will be interesting to see him over five furlongs. Chief Little Hawk won a big pot in the Ballyhane Stakes and after a big effort there he disappointed slightly turned out again five days later in the Round Tower Stakes, won by New Treasure. The Ballydoyle colt is better than his last showing.
