FormscanBy Gary Carson - PURE STEEL weakened after a mistake in better company here last month but can bounce back now. The Yeats gelding had been an impressive winner over this trip here previously and may benefit from coming back in distance again. His mark of 138 sets the standard in this race. Similarly Relieved Of Duties drops in class after finding graded company a bit hot last time. He had run well in a novice event at Cheltenham previously and should be a big player in this company. I Am Lorenzo sneaked into a beginners chase for horses rated 120 or less over hurdles last time and was a narrow winner. This looks tougher now but he can’t be discounted.%0A%0A
