Peak Storm is well ahead of those with an allocated mark. He's been placed over C&D on his latest couple of starts and should be bang there at the finish in this company but the less-exposed TESTA ROSSA doesn't have much improvement to find to come out best. He finished fourth at Lingfield on last month's debut and John Hills' colt can open his account with normal progress. The newcomer Iggy's breeding sends conflicting messages, though he's worth noting in the betting, and it's hard to make a decent case for any of the rest.
