Peak Storm beat Billyrayvalentine by a length in a seller over a mile here 11 days ago but George Baker's charge is 4lb better off and may be capable of turning the tables. However, both have a bit to find at the weights to get the better of Mr David, who came back to form in a Wolverhampton claimer 10 days ago. It's more than two years since JOHNNY CASTLE was last in the winner's enclosure but he'd be far too good for these if anywhere near his best and this represents a huge drop in class. Raging Bear won at Lingfield on Saturday but this looks a bit more competitive and Mambo Spirit, who won at Salisbury in July, may be a bigger threat.
