In depth
Verdict
has had wind surgery since finishing tailed off when returning from a break at Ludlow. DANCINGWITH STORMS hasn’t shown much since joining Warren Greatrex and got no further than the first last time at Uttoxeter but his maiden win in Ireland came around this time last year so the warmer weather might aid his cause. The four-year-old Biscay Bay makes his handicap debut and Mon Eldorado and Picture Painter could also figure.
