KYLLACHY STORM is the selection with Another Genepi and Coleorton Dancer as the other runners of note. Ron Hodges' sprinter appears to have cracked the winning code and won readily at Bath last week. Granted, his ability to act on this surface is taken on trust, but his turf efforts entitle him to go close tonight. Another Genepi needs little introduction. A tough mare, she may have needed her most recent outing and is one to watch in the market as a consequence. Coleorton Dancer is hard to win with. He has had a short break since bombing badly at Redcar in September.Music Box Express is sure to be up there from the opening of the gate. Commander Wish has struggled with the handicapper after landing a brace earlier in the season. Lambrini Lace stepped up markedly when second in a recent event at Ayr. She may be well handicapped on earlier form though she has only won one race in 15 starts so far. Royal Degree was well touted by his trainer but the entry in the sales suggests that even he has lost patience. Welcome Approach seems to find this trip on the sharp side nowadays. Kyllachy Storm is our pick in a race where plenty have chances. (Ian Brindle)
