Lord Of The Storm is a regular around Wolverhampton and won there in December. He hasn't been beaten far in any subsequent runs from his new mark and can get involved again with his regular pilot taking off 5lb. Lily Edge is just a pound higher than her victory here in August while Matraash hasn't been beaten far in his last two races, though two of them came in sellers. MUNSARIM (NAP) was in fine form here at this time last year and shot up the weights. He returned to winning ways three weeks ago and though back up 6lb he's won from higher marks and can complete a quick double. Dozy Joe hadn't shown much for a year before taking advantage of a falling mark and finishing runner-up at Wolverhampton.
