Won Nottingham novice before finishing mid-field in a Leopardstown Group 3 on final start at 2 yrs. Possibly amiss on return at Kempton having been gelded. Bred for this longer trip, but mark remains stiff-looking.

Won nursery here last season (also scored at Doncaster) and has held his form in a pair of starts at 3 yrs, faring best of those held up when third at Musselburgh last month. Should be competitive up in trip.

Heavily campaigned at 2 yrs, winning on 3 occasions. Folded worryingly tamely when last seen and he's slightly more exposed than most.

Scored on debut at Doncaster last season and has ran creditably on both outings this term, though didn't particularly look at home on the track when fifth over C&D last month.

Runner-up in maidens at Chester and Goodwood last season, looking likely to prove best over middle distances. Starts from a workable mark at 3 yrs, so no surprise if he features here.

Improved across 4 starts in minor events early this season but probably needs to find more to make a winning handicap/turf debut. That is possible, though.

Forecasts

Stormy Ocean (9/4), Thunder Max (11/4), Desert Angel (3/1), Super Stars (3/1), Sanitiser (13/2), Cliffs Of Fury (9/1), Highland Premiere (12/1), Grenoble (18/1)

Verdict

STORMY OCEAN's Newcastle form has worked out well and he looked a winner-in-waiting again at Wolverhampton last time, so he's taken to score for the Appleby team. The consistent Desert Angel is next best, ahead of the returning Super Stars, who very much has the makings of a useful handicapper.
