FormscanBy Alan Magee - SLADE STEEL was a smart novice over hurdles winning the ‘Supreme’ at the 2024 Cheltenham Festival and should gain a belated first success over fences. The Henry De Bromhead-trained gelding was placed twice last term and was absent for a year until again filling the runner-up spot behind Predators Gold over 2m4f here last month with Wingmen ten lengths back in third. Spread Boss Ted was a useful stayer over hurdles but has obviously had training issues, while Patter Merchant’s second to Flicker Of Hope at Fairyhouse has been advertised since.
