      Verdict

      PEAK STORM has yet to win this year but it’s not for want of trying and he was third in a Class 2 handicap at Chepstow last time. Dropped 2lb for this, John O’Shea’s charge gets the nod. Miss Minuty went close over 1m2f here recently and British Embassy was narrowly beaten in a lower grade over track and trip last time. Alcatraz still looks a shade high in the weights while Starlit Cantata has done all her winning so far over 1m2f at Lingfield.
