In depth
Verdict
A maiden winner here, Hey Gracie has a more difficult task under a penalty and Make Haste Slowly may well reverse running having subsequently gone close at Thirsk. MEDIA STORM made a winning debut at Wolverhampton in February and has switched yards since. This extra distance should suit the half-brother to 1m5f winner Agent Murphy and David Simcock’s new charge gets the vote. Inherent was given an easy introduction at Newbury and Ryan Moore is back on board while Red Centre has been kept in training since injured in 2018 and is worth a second glance.
