In depth
Verdict
Irish raider Ammieanne, has shown bits and pieces of form across the water, without suggesting she is quite good enough to win this, while Billie John ran his best race to date, finishing a solid runner-up to the useful Khan Kicker at Kelso, but preference is for Stormy Lord. The selection likes to force the pace and could well take some pegging back round here.
