Verdict
It could pay to stick with the unbeaten STORM OVER in this. He made a winning handicap debut when scoring at Redcar with a couple of subsequent winners filling the places and there should plenty more to come from Bob Cowell’s colt. Black Isle Boy’s winning run came to an end in a tougher contest last time and he’s not out of this while Merlin drops back down in distance having found one too good at Newmarket. Scorching Heat also has a shout with an apprentice’s allowance helping his cause but Think Fashion’s recent success at Windsor came in maiden company.
