      Verdict

      Last month's Lingfield winner YANKEE STORM can race off a much lower mark on Turf and Monday's second at Leicester suggests he can finally open his account on this surface. Michael Wigham's charge is preferred to Ereka, another who has done all her winning on the all-weather so far including a victory at Lingfield a fortnight ago, and she too can race off a lower mark today. Lisselton Cross returns from a lay-off having scored over 6f at Wolverhampton in February but the remainder are struggling for form though Bold Ring may do better dropping down a grade.
