Verdict
Top Weight MOUNT HADLEY is given the vote to follow up from his recent success at Beverley, while both Fastnet Storm and Red Jade are worth noting in the betting market. The selection has risen eight pounds in the weights since his latest success which will make life tougher for him. This does look like a good opportunity for him to follow up and with luck in running he will not be far away come the business end of the race. Fastnet Storm landed back to back victories at Ripon and Pontefract in June and caught the eye after finishing a good third to Emsay Crag at Chester last time out. He comes into the race in good order so warrants respect. Red Jade broke his maiden tag on his second attempt last year but has found life tough in handicaps ever since. He doesn¿t seem to be the best treated horse in the race and for that reason is worth treating with caution for the time being. Mount Hadley has the form behind him and looks the percentage call.
