In depth
Verdict
Harlov has been in fine form of late and the booking of Brian Storey is a positive to his backers today. Fishki's Lad makes his debut over the larger obstacles and could be the fly in the ointment. The ground may be faster than ideal but if his interest in the game is rejuvenated by the switch to chasing, he may give the top horse something to think about. Brea Hill was second over course and distance last time out but has a few pounds to find on the book.
