In depth
Verdict
Nothing leaps off the page in this though Storm Alert ground out a win at Fontwell 11 days ago and Micheal Nolan's claim takes care of a large chunk of the extra. Sail And Return won over C&D last month and Aegean Destiny won over 2m here a year ago and gives the impression she's running into form again. Sahrati wouldn't be far away if on a going day and Canadian Dreamer also warrants a second look as he's had only had four runs and makes his handicap debut today. However, we just prefer AM I BLUE who is back over her best trip and has her favoured ground. She was a good third at Ffos Las two runs ago and Matt Stanley's claim can help her back into the winner's enclosure ahead of the one-paced Torran Sound.
