In depth
Verdict
A tricky two-year-old maiden to start proceedings, where Snow Wolf look to have a great chance of losing his maiden tag, Peters Choice and Tropical Storm my chase him home. Marcus Tregoning¿s colt improved on his debut effort at Bath to get within a neck of Foursquare at Nottingham earlier this month and with further improvement expected should beat these rivals. Peters Choice has similar claims to the selection having got well turned over on his first outing at Ayr, but then leaving that form well behind when chasing home Sweet Cando up at Musselburgh. Tropical Storm went into a lot of notebooks on his Haydock debut. He missed the break on that occasion, but still managed to finish a gallant second to The Jobber. He was well supported that day and is sure to attract plenty of cash again this afternoon. However, Snow Wolf may just have the edge on this occasion
