In depth

Verdict

A winner at Nottingham last year, Come On Tier drops back down into novice company today but is penalised along with Dragon Moon, who scored over 6f at Lingfield recently. Given the weight concessions, this looks a good opportunity for WIND STORM to open her account having found only one too good in both starts to date including at Beverley last time. She’s preferred to likely improver Caradoc while the newcomer Make Me is related to a Listed winner among a host of others and is worth a second glance.
