In depth

Verdict

Log On Intersky should now be ready to strike and gets the vote over Sir Storm and Mumaris. Howard Johnson's charge ran very well at Aintree when second to Cill Churnain, his jumping a joy to behold. The drop back in distance should improve his chances of going one better and he is taken to give weight away all round. Sir Storm meets the selection on much more favourable terms here, but did not impress as much at the Liverpool track and a place may be the best that he can hope for here. A similar comment applies to Mumaris, absent since May. He is progressive though, and is sure to be place to advantage soon by Lucinda Russell. If it had not been for his break from the action, he would have been a stronger fancy in our eyes, but Log On Intersky is going the right way, and can defy topweight to get the losses back.
