In depth
Verdict
Another moderate event but it represents a good opportunity for Hailstorm to gain a deserved success. The TEAMtalk selection is on a longish losing sequence but has dropped down to a most attractive handicap mark and showed that he still possesses the ability to win a race of this nature when a close second in similar company at Stratford in August. Jonaem is 8lb lower compared to when finishing third in a handicap here last month and enters calculations along with Sir Williamwallace who showed he was ready to strike last time.
