Verdict
SUBWAY SURF looks to have the strongest form of these having placed over timber the last twice. She handles the going and should have the measure of Miss Bamby. The latter placed at Uttoxeter but finished a long way behind the winner while Present Storm has won between the flags and Brian Hughes’ presence takes the eye back over hurdles. Soramond has won on the Flat though J Gaye is rated higher on the level and both make their hurdling debuts.
