In depth
Verdict
Hurricane Alert never threatened under Hector Crouch at Kempton last time though that was his first start since January. Fujiano and Margot Rose have so far posted their best efforts over 5f while Inauguration attempted to make all when dropped back to 6f at Chelmsford last time but never looked like hanging on. General Potempkin is out of a prolific mare but fellow newcomer ONE MORE PUSEY is a half-sister to five winning sprinters and John Gallagher's filly may be good enough to get involved on her debut.
