In depth

Verdict

Dual winner STORM MOON is rated some way ahead of these and was only headed close home at Thirsk last time. He has enough early pace to overcome a less than ideal draw and can return to winning ways. Forray was a disappointing favourite at York last time but has claims if forgiven that run and Mandy Layla wasn't far away in similar company at Haydock last time. Uncomplicated and Hot Secret have been in good form in lesser company of late but Bispham Green looks a bigger threat having gone close at York the last twice with Forray behind on one of those occasions.
