Verdict
Hurricane Hen come from a father and son combination having a good run at present, and that run is set to continue at the expense of Lambrini Lace and Alexander Huricane. The selection has a winning sequence at Wolverhampton on the all weather and now tries his hand back on the turf. David Evans and his son Richard have been having lots of success in the past two weeks and with the stable in such fine form we feel Hurricane Hen can translate his all weather form to the turf to score in the opener. Lanmrini Lace is only one pound higher since winning at Bath recently. He is only relatively lightly raced so he is still open to further improvement and any market moves should be noted. Alexander Huricane carries top weight and has a decent strike rate of three wins from eight starts. His form on the turf though doesn¿t quite bode as well as his all weather form so for that reason he has to be treated with some caution. So for the winner we return to Hurricane Hen.
