Verdict

GOLDSTORM has a 7lb rise in the weights to contend with but scored by three lengths at Haydock last month and can go in again. She looks the safest proposition given her main rivals are less then reliable to say the least. Al Muheer is capable at his best but has finished nearer last in both starts this month while both The Lock Master and Copperwood have had their own ideas about the game for some time now. Albaqaa looks a bigger threat but is rare winner nowadays and Yojimbo has a shout on his best form.
