      Verdict

      BIG STORM COMING (NAP) won last year’s renewal off a higher mark and scored again back here last week. He looks right back to his best on that evidence and 4lb extra may not be enough to anchor John Quinn’s charge. Sir Busker went close here a fortnight ago having won at Goodwood before that and he can figure but Cool Reflection is racing over 7f for the first time having gone close over the extended 5f at Bath. Key Player beat Mamillius at Brighton earlier in the year while Chica De La Noche seems best on the all-weather nowadays.
