In depth

Verdict

Old Storm makes more appeal than Saint Elm of the Irish-trained runners in this. Makethedifference made good late headway when fourth at Market Rasen last time but the drop in distance may not suit. Push Me ran a bit better at Sedgefield last week but has something to find with Dynamic Drive on past form and the latter was beaten out of sight by GOAL here in 2013. The top weight has travelled a long way for this and may be ready to strike again being 3lb lower than when second at Taunton at the end of last year.
