SUMMER STORM was having his first start of the year when runner-up at Hexham last month and should be sharper for the outing. He has little to beat in this given Sindarban failed to build on an earlier second at Worcester when well beaten at Perth in July and Beechroad Ally never threatened when third at this venue. It's even harder to make a case for any of the remainder including the frustrating Bowdler's Magic.
