Verdict

Turanga Leela has been in good form at Kempton since the turn of the year and won twice here at the end of last year, though tends to struggle in this higher grade. Storm Over ran no sort of race at Newcastle last time and finished behind Spartan Fighter. He also looks held by Power Over Me on Lingfield running in January but does have the plum draw. The latter is having a first run on Tapeta and Garth Rockett is also best on Polytrack but DIAMOND DOUGAL is back on the same mark off which he was successful here in November and Rossa Ryan should find plenty of cover from stall two. Prince Of Rome has done all of his winning over 5f but Global Esteem could be interesting returning from a break.
