In depth
Verdict
Stormy Beach is taken to score in this tight little handicap from Rainbow River and Backcraft. The selection was an easy winner last time out at Sedgefield and although up in the weights seems to be improving and should be too good for some less well handicapped horses. Rainbow River was denied a hat-trick last time out at Market Rasen but with ground conditions back in his favour he is expected to give the selection most to do. Backcraft has ability and acts on any surface. With trainer Len Lungo in fair form at present it would be no surprise to see him run well though he does not look particularly well handicapped at present.
