Stormin Tom has been going well over 2m but Tim Easterby’s front-runner may find this on the sharp side nowadays. He’s also on a career-high mark and was beaten by AIRTON on worse terms here last month. James Bethell’s charge couldn’t cope with a 3lb rise next time at Haydock but has claims if on a going day back here. Be Perfect won a seller here in June but showed himself to be better than that last time at Doncaster. Panko won at Goodwood and Leicester in June but looked in the handicapper’s grip last time at Windsor. Ingleby Hollow looks held by a few of these on the form book but Sea Youmzain is more interesting now she’s started to slip down the weights again.
