Storm Castle was slowly away and ran green at Salisbury at the end of September and better is expected here. Though placed twice in France and on his UK debut at Pontefract, Barneys Gift is looking exposed but Spirit Of Nguru is bred for this trip and Wadacre Grace is another newcomer worth a second look. FOURTH TIME LUCKY was doing his best work at the finish against more experienced rivals over 6f here last month and the extra furlong today can see him get off the mark.
