In depth

Verdict

Winning pointer Flamenco De Kerser should have learned plenty form his fourth at Wincanton. Ted's Friend ran green at Warwick but was less than four lengths behind a subsequent winner. Hard Frost is a half-brother to a winner in France and is sure to have supporters given connections but there is some speed in the pedigree of STORM LORD and it will be no surprise if he features prominently in what is not a strong bumper.
