Verdict

The once-raced Roberto Pegasus is probably best watched on his return to action but Kerchak, who is come in for market support in his last three starts, shouldn't be dismissed out of hand. Back over a longer trip, Locum could go close but this may be stretching the stamina of Onyx Of Arabia while Treacle Tart has been off the track since finishing second in a claimer at Kempton in February and is unproven on turf. It's a while since DANCING STORM last visited the winner's circle but Stuart Kittow's eight-year-old is back on a decent mark and, with plenty of rain around at the moment, could have conditions in his favour by off time - he may be worth a bet in a modest finale.
