Fleeting Storm hinted that a longer trip could bring about some improvement when sixth at Bath last time and the blinkers are persevered with here. But the one to beat is surely FINAL LIBERATION, who was ridden for stamina over 1m4f at Kempton but found surprisingly little off the bridle. That run was too bad to be true and this well-bred son of Sinndar is worth another chance. Revolutionary only found Captain Bellamy too good when tried over this trip at Southwell and should be in the firing-line again with Haydock third Tidal Run probably the pick of the remainder.
