Looked well-above average when winning at Kempton on debut and back on track returned to calmer waters when scoring under hands-and-heels ride over C&D 3 weeks ago. More to come on handicap bow.

Knew what was required to make a winning start and doubled her tally at Brighton in June. Had excuses at Royal Ascot but got back on the up returned to a sounder surface at Nottingham last time.

Confirmed debut promise when scoring in novice at Newcastle 9 months ago, finding extra when required. Fine return behind the very exciting Baaeed over C&D 7 weeks ago and goes handicapping now.

Resumed progress fitted with cheekpieces when just denied on handicap debut at Doncaster and showed useful form when easy winner of Thirsk novice. Looks on a good mark back in a handicap.

Forecasts

Storm Damage (5/4), Zagato (5/2), Komachi (11/4), Far Hope (8/1)

Verdict

Saeed bin Suroor's STORM DAMAGE had plenty up his sleeve when scoring over C&D just over 3 weeks ago, still rough around the edges but winning easily enough without his rider ever having to get too serious. With further improvement on the cards, he's taken to make a winning handicap debut. Zagato rates as the obvious danger back in handicap company following his facile Thirsk success.

  1. STORM DAMAGE
  2. ZAGATO
  3. KOMACHI (IRE)
