Verdict
TARDREE and Atlantic Storm beat the same horse when scoring on their respective latest starts. The former comes out best on collateral form having returned a clear winner at Uttoxeter and is taken to go in again. Check My Pulse reverts to handicapping having placed in a beginners' chase at Cartmel on his debut over fences while more exposed Siannes Star was still well beaten when third over track and trip. Sarasota Star makes his chasing debut and is not badly treated on his winning form over timber.
