      Verdict

      BAILY STORM, Nur Tau and Dean's Grange make the shortlist here, with Baily Storm taken to score. Emma Lavelle's Dean's Grange was well supported on his debut in a bumper but he was disappointing, finishing fifth. He ran green that day, and is quickly switched to hurdles. It may well be worth waiting to show form in public before further support is suggested. Twice a winner on the Flat, with his latest success coming two years ago, Nur Tau has been on the downward spiral this year, but he has plugged on to reach the frame on a couple of occasions. He can do the same again here. Baily Storm is an Irish recruit, and he ran well on his debut in this country to take a maiden hurdle at Stratford. That was also his first outing for in form trainer Tim Vaughan and the combination can score again. Baily Storm can maintain his 100% record in this country.
