JOSS STICK comes into this race in fine form and is taken to land the finale at the expense of Kyllachy Storm and Sofinella. The selection ran right back up to his best when finishing second to El Cececy at Brighton last time out. He gets a chance to run off the same mark today and if reproducing that same level of form he will not be too far away come the business end of the race. Kyllachy Storm looks weighted up to his best at present. That said he did run well off the same mark at Windsor on his seasonal reappearance and should be monitored in the betting market. Sofinella won off his current mark at Wolverhampton two years ago but he was a disappointment on the whole during last season. He has however showed signs of form in his two runs this year so he could be an each way possibility.
