Verdict

OCEAN STORM has the best form on offer. He posted his best effort yet when third at Sandown last month and should be opening his account in this with any further progress. Solidarity and Chinese Jade look likely to step up on their modest debut efforts while something was obviously amiss with Clever Miss at Pontefract last time as she'd finished much closer at Redcar on her debut. Newcomer Claim The Roses could prove the biggest threat as he's a half-brother to the useful Rebuttal.
