        In depth

        Verdict

        Let Me Be returned to the Flat with a victory over 1m6f at Musselburgh while Stormin Norman was last seen under this code winning over the same trip at Catterick in October. ENDLESSLY was winning over hurdles last year and, switched to David O’Meara’s yard in March, was beaten less than a length over the extended 2m at Wolverhampton last month. He gets the vote racing off the same mark while the unexposed Eagle's Foot is preferred to the veteran Nakeeta of the remainder.
