Despite returning from a break, PEAK STORM very nearly thwarted the odds-on Keyaadi at Chepstow earlier this month and should strip fitter here. He had some decent form last year and can get the better of Cottesmore, who has finished second in two of his four runs but has disappointed twice when there has been give in the ground. Donatia looks the best of the newcomers on breeding but she may just need the experience here.
