CRISP AND NUT (Trap 3) - 17:44 Hove
Bagging two of his last four starts, CRISP AND NUT is surprisingly eased a peg on the graded ladder ahead of this and, fancied to show up handy at the very least on the inside, we're hopeful he can hold his position and have enough in reserve to hold off the challengers for further success.
RALLYING RANGE (Trap 6) - 18:36 Sheffield
Very low mileage for a July 21' whelp, RALLYING RANGE confirmed himself of considerable merit when making his first competitive C&D start a winning one seven days ago, bolting clear from the boxes to run out an emphatic 10-length winner. An effort backed up by the clock, that marked him down as a contender for outright glory in this year's Steel City Cup and he can get his campaign off to a flyer.
EZE (Trap 4) - 19:26 Sheffield
The classy EZE is fancied to come out on top in heat four of the Bresbet Steel City Cup. A son of Pestana, he's an all-round improved model since his last visit to the South Yorkshire track and, having posted impressive victories on his travels at Swindon and Oxford in recent weeks, we're hopeful with a clear run from the black jacket he can pass this test.
