Verdict
Stormion has won the last two renewals for Lucinda Russell but neither Shooting Times nor Wayne Manor make much appeal for the yard this time round. GREY AREA looks to have leading claims despite making his seasonal debut as he scored over track and trip last season before following up at Kelso and today's opposition is nothing to write home about. Total Assets made the frame last time but on fast ground and it was similar underfoot conditions at Catterick last month when Cumbrian Farmer won. Madam Lillibet won over a shorter trip on this card last year and she looks the biggest threat to the selection racing off a lower mark today.
