    In depth

    Verdict

    Stormingin beat Persian Wolf a head in an amateurs' race over track and trip last month but ISLAND OF SKYE is preferred. The latter returned from a lay-off with a victory at Kempton on his first start after wind surgery and looks worth a try over this extra distance given his half-brother scored over the trip. Miss Harmony is creeping closer as she slips down the weights while Medrara may improve with a tongue-tie applied for this.
