REIDH has been shaping as if on his way back to form this season, conceding first run and finishing with running left when fourth at Catterick on his latest outing, so he could be capable of making it back-to-back wins at this meeting. Heading the list of dangers is the hat-trick seeking Zaraahmando, with Storm Averted completing the shortlist.
