      Verdict

      Cape Of Storms can breeze in ahead of Diriculous and Totally Free. Roy Brotherton's yard have been in cracking form of late and with two chances in this race, he has a chance of claiming this prize. Cape Of Storms is probably the pick of his pair on paper and with a couple of second placings in similar races to his name, it would be no surprise to see him pricing accordingly. Diriculous was a big price on his Kempton victory and its hard to understand why as the form of his debut has worked out particularly well. The market is watched to see if his stable fancy their chances. Totally Free does have an absence to overcome but he has gone well at this track in the past and seems to produce his running for today's rider. Cleveland drops back to six furlongs having tried over seven. The handicapper has had plenty of chance to take a look. Imperial Sword hasn't shown a lot of late but is nevertheless respected. Boy Dancer makes a debut for John Quinn having previously been under the care of David Barker. Soba Jones was entitled to have needed his first run last week and can be anticipated to have come on for it greatly. Cape Of Storms has had more than his fair share of chances but with his stable in such good form, he has more positives than most in this ordinary affair.
