Verdict

The majority of these have very little to recommend them so we'll take a chance that SOMMERSTURM is capable of stepping up on what he's achieved so far. Twice a winner on the Flat in Germany, the six-year-old has yet to show a similar level of performance since arriving in this country but today represents a significant drop in class. Beauchamp King hasn't raced over hurdles since May 2009 but still had a chance when falling over fences at Towcester last time and races off the same mark here. Samizdat won off a higher mark on soft ground at Carlisle in March but appears to have completely lost his way since.
