Verdict
As long as there is some give in the ground, STORM CONTROL should prove tough to beat. He showed a decent level of form in maidens at Ascot and Exeter last season and that experience will stand him in good stead. One For Rosie won a bumper at Bangor just over a year ago which has worked out well. His stable won this last year so he deserves the utmost respect, despite not having raced since. Shepherd's Bight’s Kelso win has been franked but Ruth Jefferson also runs bumper winner Northern Soul. Glen Forsa was second at Newton Abbot last month and should strip fitter here.
