Verdict
Lamloom has a huge weight and hasn't won on ground this quick though is greatly respected on his overall form. Storm Ahead has only won once and that was on the all-weather in 2015. He's steadily dropping to a winnable mark and would have a big chance on his penultimate run in a better race at Ripon. TRINITY STAR looks the safer option, however, as he won a Class 5 over the course and distance in May then was beaten just a neck in a two-grades higher event over 1m2f on a return visit last weekend, form that would see him very difficult to beat. Magillen hasn't come up to expectations after a fine debut at Leicester but Intense Style has run well in his last couple of races and is only 1lb higher than his last winning mark.
