Stormez takes a significant drop in class for his chasing debut here and is very hard to oppose. If he puts in anything like the performance he put in at Aintree over hurdles, the rest will be chasing shadows from along way out. However, it has to be remembered that this is his first try over fences in public and a watchful eye should be cast over the market beforehand.
