In depth
Verdict
Hands Of Stone probably exceeded expectations when third at Chepstow and could have more to offer, though Adam Wedge rides stablemate and newcomer Amerton Lane. Diamond Reggie is another debutant to consider now his yard is in better form and Atlantic Grey is back at a more realistic level but STORM WARNING (NAP) looks the one to beat. He made good late headway when fourth at Newbury last month and his stable have a terrific strike rate here with their bumper horses.
