Few of these arrive in form but Nebula Storm has settled well into new surroundings and followed up a win at Southwell with a second at Market Rasen. Presenting Streak still looks a shade high in the weights but has place claims, as does the four-year-old Hey Bob, but Strait Run's second at Catterick came in a seller. WALSER is only a couple of pounds higher than when scoring at Newcastle a year ago. He goes well fresh and handles heavy going so there is no reason why he shouldn't be in the firing-line.
