Verdict

Sugar Beet produced a terrific effort to separate higher-rated rivals when third in a Listed sprint at Bath last month but has paid the price with an 8lb rise. Soft ground may also be a problem for her, though it shouldn't inconvenience LUI REI as he finished a creditable third in testing ground at Newbury last time and is dropped in class today. He gets the nod in this given Steps is having his first start since beating fourth-placed Judge 'N Jury at Doncaster in October. Taurus Twins had Desert Phantom behind when third at Espom recently on a similar surface and looks a bigger threat.
