        In depth

        Verdict

        Lord Of The Storm won off a higher mark over course and distance last summer and was not beaten far despite finishing only fifth here last time. But fourth-placed CLEVERCONVERSATION makes more appeal as she was having her first start since August and has an apprentice’s 5lb allowance helping her cause today. Hold Firm and Samphire Coast also finished behind the selection and the former had earlier beaten Mowhoob over track and trip. Hannington won over 1m2f here last month but was well beaten off today’s mark back over a mile last time.
