You can have at least 8-1 on anyone other than Kevin Hutton retaining the Bresbet Steel City Cup title following Saturday night’s semi finals.
The Towcester based handler who landed the 2020 decider with the unfortunate Headford Ranger, sent out two of the three semi final winners with Forest Gold surprisingly going quicker than ante post favourite and Select Stakes winner Signet Ace. The third finalist is Ranger’s half brother Headford Flash.
Jamie Kingsley’s March On Ted went quickest in the heats of the Brinkleys Poet At Stud Young Guns but is available at 7-2 in a draw with five railers and one middle seed.
Acomb Hugo – who might be forgiven for having an inferiority complex having seen four littermates win opens – finally landed his first in the Bresbet British Bred Maiden. He is a 4-1 chance to repeat the feat in next Saturday’s final.
