Verdict
Vikekhal’s third at Worcester 10 days ago was his best run for a while and he’s well treated nowadays. Boss Des Mottes had New Kid In Town well beaten when second at Cartmel but Saffron Prince lacks a recent run and No Ceiling still looks a few pounds too high. ATLANTIC STORM fell on his chasing bow at Towcester in December but is sure to have had plenty of schooling since and a second over hurdles at Bangor last month suggests he’s in decent form at present.
