Acdc has fallen from grace having last won a race from a 28lb higher mark back in October 2018. Clondaw Storm has changed stables after a poor run when favourite at Warwick on New Year's Eve and his previous good run was on heavy going. Istimraar will be happier back on the quicker ground though is 9lb higher than his victory at Perth last summer while Rann Of Kutch ran easily her best race to date on her chasing bow at Wetherby three weeks ago. The latter finished 7 lengths behind runner-up SILKEN MOONLIGHT, who reverted to hurdles at Carlisle on Sunday and lost her maiden tag so a quick double looks on the cards.
