Better Getalong’s Ayr victory earlier in the year has worked out well and he’s run up to that form in both starts since – Conor Rabbitt’s claim is a plus. Taxmeifyoucan ground out a victory over 3m2f here last month and is only 2lb higher. A good run from Gustav’s Dream earlier on the card could boost the claims of Pammi but Schalke couldn’t cope with a further 5lb rise when on a hat-trick at Carlisle. Don Brocco ended the last season in fine form but STORM OF LIGHT is 12lb better off than when third behind Schalke at Market Rasen in February. He was a bit unlucky not to beat Beaufort West at Uttoxeter later and is only a pound higher here.
