We travel to Bangor-on-Dee with Absolute Steel who runs in the 4:20. Jonathan Burke rides.

Absolute Steel caused a shock 17 days ago when winning at 200-1 at Exeter. He was the biggest priced winner since 1999 and the joint second highest of all time.

Absolute Steel was always going to win races as he works well. However, he's very raw and really wants three miles. The above race turned into a stamina test, it was biblical conditions and Steel was one of only two horses that stayed.

It will be tough for him today, giving away a lot of weight whilst the runs comes quickly. He needs this type of ground though, hence getting Absolute Steel out again quickly.

We'll learn more about him as will the horse.
