Verdict

A high-class chaser in his pomp, RIDERS ONTHE STORM capitalised on his much-reduced mark under an excellent ride to land the Old Roan Chase (strong form) on return. Consistency hasn't always been his strong suit but a 2 lb higher mark certainly doesn't look prohibitive if arriving in the same groove and he could be worth siding with to enhance his already sound C&D record. Improving 7-y-o Cooper's Cross, Brave Seasca and Irish-raider Handsworth head up the dangers.
