Verdict
Solstice Star showed his first real sign of form over hurdles when fourth over track and trip last week and he can figure if the headgear sparks further improvement. The Doom Bar is probably better than he's shown so far while Eddy keeps knocking on the door. Tennessee Bird got of the mark at the 36th attempt here last week but doesn't appeal as the type to follow up under a penalty. Ravens Nest's second at Huntingdon in August was an improvement but he hasn't raced since. STORMBAY BOMBER ran well for a long way over this trip at Southwell last time and wouldn't need much more to figure in this.
