    Verdict

    Broadway Ranger was placed in a higher grade at Chester last time but still beaten 14 lengths. Indian Affair is starting to come down the weights but is usually worth opposing and Top Cop's form has tailed off over the last couple of months. For Ayman won at Nottingham on his reappearance but didn't beat much and was last at Kempton next time. SEE THE STORM is back with Ian Williams and 2lb lower than when successful for the yard over 7f at Warwick a year ago. His latest Pontefract fourth wasn't a bad effort and this should be within his capabilities. Fair Ranger makes his reappearance and appeared to have lost his way when last seen.
