Pacify might be running into form but recent Kempton runner-up St Malo disappointed on his own previous try on Turf, though is still relatively unexposed. Hugo Palmer won this with a three-year-old last year and Anythingtoday, in first-time cheekpieces, may be able to repeat the trick, though a 4lb rise for a second at Windsor looks harsh. TOULSON had excuses when well beaten earlier this month at Haydock and better is expected here so he gets the nod as Ay Ay is having his first run since April and making his debut on Turf. Storm Rock hasn’t really fired this season but is starting to slip down the handicap.
