Sleeping Storm can land the finale at the expense of Wheelavit and Scarlet Flyer. The selection has the best form on offer having won at Newbury on her penultimate start and was not disgraced in better company at Newmarket last time out. She looks a horse that is still on the upgrade and for that reason is worth staying on the right side of. Wheelavit improved to take a weak handicap at Nottingham last time out. He now carries six pounds more for that success and is sure to find things tougher here. Scarlet Flyer was knocking on the door at Lingfield last time out when finishing an eye catching second and is one to note in the betting market but for the winner we return to Sleeping Storm.
