Stormbound remains 5lb higher then when successful here last season while though Limerick Lord has placed at the track the last twice he has done all his winning on the all-weather so far. BUZZ LIGHTYERE (NAP) has recorded all three wins to date at this venue and is back on a winning mark with an apprentice’s allowance taken into account. He gets the vote to come out best with Global Wonder returning to the Turf and preferred to Straight Ash of the remainder.
