      Verdict

      NOBLE STORM goes from strength to strength. He ended last season with an odds-on victory at Southwell but his reappearance win at Newbury was more impressive and Ed McMahon's sprinter can follow up with more to come. Monsieur Joe won three times last term and was placed twice in six starts at Meydan earlier this year. However, Rowe Park beat him over C&D in the summer and the latter has since finished well behind the selection. Elnawin is hard to win with nowadays, while promising two-year-old Taajub made only two starts last season but was well beaten on both occasions. Swiss Franc and Above Limits look up against it here.
