7/2
Point winner who shaped promisingly when third of 14 on handicap debut Taunton (19f) in February, finishing well from a poor position. Never looked like (soon off bridle) justifying strong support back there 8 days later, but worth another chance now hiked in distance.

Fair winning chaser but has offered little both starts this term and reverts to hurdling with enough to prove.

Down the field in bumpers but is steadily going the right way over hurdles, finishing with running left when fourth of 16 on her handicap debut at Ffos Las (20f) 20 days ago. May improve again over this longer trip.

Bumper winner who has shaped with encouragement over hurdles, running-on second of 16 in handicap at Ffos Las (20f, good to soft) 15 days ago. This longer trip promises to suit. Big chance.

Runner-up on second of his 2 starts between the flags but has yet to show any signs of ability under Rules. Big step forward needed on handicap debut.

Forecasts

Broomfields Cave (7/2), William Ewart (4/1), Ffree Pedro (4/1), Walk In The Storm (9/2), Hunsbury (13/2), Lady Berlais (17/2), Invincible De Mee (12/1), Unai (40/1), Passing Secrets (50/1), Bury Walls (66/1), Tis But A Scratch (150/1)

Verdict

WALK IN THE STORM caught the eye running on late on her handicap debut at Ffos Las, so she's an appealing candidate now upped to 23f. Lady Berlais is another who could have more to offer over this longer trip, while it's too soon to be writing off Broomfields Cave.

  1. Walk In The Storm9/2
  2. Lady Berlais17/2
  3. Broomfields Cave7/2
