    In depth

    Verdict

    Atlantic Storm has been in good form this year but others have more scope. Peterborough has been hurdling recently and is still 4lb higher than his last win over fences but there may be more to come from Chess Player after a first career victory on his fencing bow over track and trip three weeks ago. GLAJOU is having a first run over fences since joining his current yard. He’s only 1-8 over the larger obstacles but has been keeping better company in the main. Halifax was 0-8 over hurdles so is probably best watched.
