In depth
Verdict
Dropped back into claiming company, Hurricane Floyd should outclass these rivals and is impossible to oppose here, while Pilgrim Princess could be the one to chase him home. Hurricane Floyd ha returned to David Nicholls' stable having contested some hot handicaps under David Loder's tutelage this year. He showed encouraging signs when fourth at Yarmouth last time and should prove far too good for these mediocre rivals. He has over a stone in hand on official ratings, and for those unwilling to wade in at a short price, it is much harder to find a forecast or each way alternative, as the opposition look very ordinary. The best choice could me Pilgrim Princess, who is only rated 40 but didn't shape too badly in a handicap at Newcastle on her last turf start.
