In depth

Verdict

Tara Kay was second in one of these here last month but has run poorly over hurdles since. Stormin Norman won a maiden over timber at Sedgefield in October and was successful in a bumper in 2019. He’s won four times on the Flat and looks a danger if taking to this surface with a similar comment applying to hurdles winner Away At Dawn. Shaws Bridge wasn’t beaten far in a jumpers’ bumper here a year ago and has been lightly campaigned but BUSY STREET can put his experience to good use and concede weight all round. A winner on the Flat here two years ago, he landed one of these at the track last month with the proverbial ton in hand.
