    Verdict

    Several of these ran in the race won by Foxtrot Lady over course and distance earlier this month. Stormbringer fared best in second but has been rewarded with a 7lb rise and there is no guarantee he will confirm running with third Roundhay Park, sixth KIMIFIVE and seventh Staxton. Nicola Currie’s mount did best of those on his side of the track having won his two previous starts and can come out on top today. Staxton’s stablemate Excellent Times is another to consider and Shaheen is no mug but this looks a tall order for Chagatai and Helvetian.
