        Verdict

        GLOBAL STORM finished third a year ago but unlike here had a previous run. William Buick will be on board after the defection of Rebel's Romance and his overall form looks strong enough for this. Stable companion Kemari was only a length behind the latter in a Goodwood Group 3 but hasn't made the expected progress. Godolphin also have Global Heat engaged and he's been in good form here though only had a length to spare over Away He Goes in Listed company in January and the latter is 4lb better off. Senor Toba is clear of these on official ratings. A Group 3 winner in Australia and Hong Kong, that's probably his level but this doesn't look the strongest of Group 2's.
