Verdict
Shortcross Storm is better known as a chaser but has won over hurdles, though hasn’t been in the best of form. RIGHT DESTINATION is 0-20 but Fergal O’Brien reaches for the headgear as the eight-year-old drops in to selling company for the first time. Lil Codey, another long-standing maiden, didn’t take to fences at Uttoxeter while Sufi, fit from the Flat, also looks a danger but Yaazaain was beaten 20 lengths when second here latest.
