Chicago Storm's reappearance in what has turned out to be a very strong Gowran maiden will have put him spot-on though the concession of 21lb to RATTLE AND HUM may prove beyond him. Joseph O'Brien's charge just failed to get past Matt Connor over 1m2f at Cork and today's longer trip should suit. The stable is also represented by Rapparee Champ, who is closely related to the Listed winner Fernando Vicho while Willie Mullins gives a spin on the Flat to Nikini, a winning bumper and trice successful over timber and she's one to keep on the right side.
