In depth

Verdict

Storm Dennis had decent form in bumpers earlier in the year but hasn’t really kicked on over hurdles so far while Holly was a bit disappointing on her hurdles bow at Uttoxeter, though should strip fitter today. San Giovanni should make a hurdler given he’s a full brother to Youghal By The Sea, who won three times for Gordon Elliott, but Hartnoll Hero finished a well-beaten last of three at Kempton. Braveheart was a fair second at Taunton, however, though HUFLOWER (NAP) is preferred as a fifth at Exeter will have taught him plenty. Island Run may be best of the rest.
