Verdict
Another tight one to call despite the lack of numbers but Stormy Skye goes well here and is expected to get the better of Even More - with Pepeta looking set to play only a supporting role after having had only one run over hurdles in the last two years. Therefore, Stormy Skye, who has held his own in much better company in recent times, looks to have been found the ideal confidence booster before the winter campaign kicks-off in earnest. Even More is unexposed in this sphere but is making his debut over hurdles a little late in the day. He is probably best watched, as barring accidents, he may find Stormy Skye too economical at his hurdles this afternoon.
