Verdict

Storm On The Run, Rol¿over Beethoven and Royal Envoy are the three to consider here and preference is for Storm On the Run. There are also a number of interesting debutants but those with experience will have a decided advantage. Royal Envoy represents Barry Hills and he shaped well on his debut, showing good early pace before fading. Out of a Zafonic mare the easier ground may be against him but he is sure to have strengthened up since then. The form looks solid as the winner South Cape ran well in Listed company next time. Aiden O¿Brien is well represented at the Berkshire track today and he saddles Rol¿Over Beethoven, a son of Mozart. He has finished third on his two starts to date and has been a short priced favourite on each occasion and is passed over. Storm On The Run looks a solid selection. He has been well backed on both his starts to date, finishing second at Goodwood and Windsor, his second run coming after a break of over five months. He will be sharper for that and can continue Ryan Moore¿s good run.
