    Verdict

    Blistering Barney has a good strike-rate on Turf but may be a few pounds too high at present. Tazaman arrives in good form and was third in this grade last time at Newbury while Storm Chaser won over this trip at Nottingham in June. HELLENISTA’s run at Thirsk last time was too bad to be true. She won over 2m here at the start of the summer and later at Redcar and deserves another chance.
