Verdict

Fairy Mist has failed to build on September's win at Beverley and Putin has gone off the boil since scoring at Kempton in August. STORM RUNNER has slipped down the weights this season and finally showed some improvement for it when third at Yarmouth last week. He's a half-brother to a winner on Fibresand and looks to have a good chance of opening his account today. So Is She has won twice here, though the last time was back in January and it's difficult to have much confidence in her, but Irish import Oxford Gold is worth noting on his first run for a new yard as he's Jamie Spencer's only ride of the meeting.
