Sparkleandshine has won a hurdle and a point-to-point so should make a chaser. Authorizo won at Sedgefield last month but couldn’t follow up here two weeks ago and is only a pound lower. Saintbury Lady is making her chasing bow following a lay-off and wind surgery so this looks a good opportunity for SHORTCROSS STORM to add to a recent victory at Newton Abbot with regular pilot Bryan Carver taking off 3lb again.
