Verdict
WAR STORM followed a promising debut at Wolverhampton by scoring at York, though that was on fast ground and he's penalised. However, he's likely to improve again and the opposition doesn't look strong. Cruising ran well over slightly shorter at Wetherby, also on fast going, while Zuckerberg never got involved over the minimum at Leicester but was staying on and will know much more here. Richard Fahey's newcomer Saint Of Katowice is one to keep an eye on in the market.
