Indian Viceroy missed out by only a head over course and distance a fortnight ago with cheekpieces fitted for the first time. But the headgear is left off today so STORMBOMBER is preferred. The latter drops back down in trip after placed efforts over a mile, including here last time when finishing well clear of the rest. Astrospeed landed a course and distance double early in the year but hasn’t raced since April but Coverham scored here back in May, though Lady Of Aran makes more appeal off her current mark.
