Storm Asset has been in winning form over 7f this year and has gone close in both starts since last successful. Ruith Le Tu also won over 7f here recently and is preferred to Away Wit Da Fairys, who is penalised for scoring over 1m4f at Southwell last time. But GOLDSMITH returned to action with a close-up third at Kempton on his handicap debut and with more to come in first-time headgear, he looks the one to side with.
