Lee Topliss is good value for his claim and can steer INTERCHOICE STAR to victory here. The latter found Where's Reiley too good last time but had beaten the same rival over C&D earlier and that form gives him the verdict over today's opponents Dancing Freddy and Dazeen. Cape Of Storms beat Residency in a claimer here in February and should figure in this, while Floor Show's best form on the turf gives him claims but he's making his debut on the all-weather and was well beaten on his recent reappearance at Ripon.
