16/5

5/2

Lightly-raced winner. 15/8, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Newmarket (10f, good to soft) 25 days ago, having run of race. Proven on the all-weather and leading claims.

Media Storm^b²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: David Egan| T: M Botti| OR: 80

15/2

Blinkered for 1st time, first run since leaving David Simcock when creditable fourth of 13 in handicap (12/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 20 days ago. Poorly placed that day and likely more to come.

Amir Kabir (5/2), Star Of Wins (16/5), Never Alone (4/1), Luncies (5/1), Media Storm (15/2), Damage Control (11/1)

MEDIA STORM is chanced to take a very competitive handicap on a surface he's proven on. He was poorly placed at Chelmsford and shaped as though stepping up in trip again would suit. Amir Kabir won well at Newbury and is also proven on the all-weather. Never Alone also holds decent claims in a race it's hard to rule out any with confidence.
