STORMBOUND disappointed when favourite at Brighton last time but won over this track and trip last year and scored off a higher mark than today's on the all-weather in February. West Leake has also been in good form on the all-weather of late but his only win on Turf so far came at this track back in 2010. Harry Bosch finished ahead of Flipping when third at Brighton last time and is preferred to Tahaf, who won twice in Ireland last year but has his first start for new connections today.
