In depth
Verdict
Nickelsonthedime was in good form when last seen in May but Present Storm needs to bounce back from a poor run at Newton Abbot, where she appeared to lose confidence after an early error. Lounge Lizard is unexposed in handicaps but PILOT SHOW did nothing but improve in his first season and there is plenty of scope for further progress over this trip. One For The Wall is another who is likely to have more to offer this term and course and distance winner Festive Glory and Biowavego are others for the shortlist.
