5/4

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.

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.

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.
