Verdict

AIRTOTHETHRONE disappointed at Chepstow last time but he's back on his last winning mark so could be the answer with his yard in good form. Shortcross Storm hinted at a return to form from a long way out of the handicap at Fakenham on his return so is respected, with Jessie Lightfoot another to consider.
