      Verdict

      Peak Storm has been thereabouts since beating Mr Frankie at Chepstow last month. The latter re-opposes on much better terms but ran a shocker when favourite at Ffos Las during the week. Mon Cigar is not the most consistent either so another chance goes to GEN I AM. The latter has found one too good here on her last couple of outings but drops down a grade for this and that could see Sylvester Kirk's filly get her head back in front. The remainder are harder to fancy though handicap debutant Soliana is unexposed and has her first start on Turf.
