Storm Asset beat Surrey Territories a length when successful at Lingfield while the latter had earlier finished behind fourth-placed Isobel Moore over 6f at Kempton. Sandie's Dream has every chance on last week’s second at Southwell but GUITAR gets a speculative vote. The latter finished a lot closer at Lingfield on his handicap debut and further progress is expected with Richard Hannon’s yard in top form.
