Verdict

Blackcastle Storm has finished runner-up in both starts so far this year though failed to threaten the winner on either occasion. CAPLA BERRY (NAP) is preferred as she was beaten only a neck over course and distance on her reappearance and Rae Guest’s mare drops down a grade for this. Alibaba should also have come on for a fourth at Beverley and makes more appeal than both Lammas and Russian Virtue.
