Verdict
Course regular Ring Eye has landed both wins to date at this venue and should run his race off topweight but is far from bulletproof. Dual purpose campaigner Grams And Ounces has a claim at his best but disappointed on his two most recent forays on the level, whilst The Quarterjack is tumbling down the handicap to a mark which makes him of interest. Keyman catches the eye from the foot of the handicap and Luke Morris is a good booking but NEBULA STORM is the choice to overcome an absence dating back to a run over timber in February. His overall profile under both codes reads consistently and he looks nicely treated here if ready for this return to action. The trip will suit and he is not ground dependent.
