Verdict
STORMINHOME reacted well to the introduction of blinkers when a close second at Southwell in March and compensation could be on the horizon. A 2lb rise in the ratings looks workable for the nine-year-old and he's fancied to repel Elysian Knight. Neil Mulholland's inmate arrives on the back of a respectable fourth over timber at Plumpton and he's unexposed over fences. Dyno Dave can make his presence felt too.
Expert View Verdict
DYNO DAVE was still travelling well when put off by a rival and departing last time but is expected to make amends here. He showed a willing attitude when winning prior to that and still looks on a generous mark based on his hurdle form. Consistent top weight Elysian Knight will appreciate the return to chasing and looks a big danger while Storminhome proved he retained his ability last time. He remains a maiden over fences but is well treated on his best form and should run well once again.
