Gurkha Friend loves it here and was again seen to good effect when stringing out his field last time. An 8lb rise makes it tougher, but he should again go close. Trading Point blew his chance before the gates went back for that race. He was well backed to complete a hat-trick there and if you can forgive him those antics then he must have a serious chance with that weight pull with the winner. However, STORM AHEAD has slid in the weights after three defeats since joining Tim Easterby. He knows his way around here after running here in two of those three and he has dropped to a mark from which he looks capable of striking.
