      Verdict

      The Barry Hills-trained Storm Seeker is likely to be a popular choice in this 1m4f maiden. Although beaten a long way on his Doncaster reappearance, the brother to the same stable's Rainbow Ways may have got bogged down their and should be better suited by the faster conditions here. Mark Johnston's Wise Tale is probably better than he has shown on the all-weather so far but is probably best watched, while Shakwaa from the Mick Channon yard is well related and could be interesting on his debut.
