      Verdict

      Star Of Lombardy opened her account over 1m2f at Wolverhampton five days ago and reappears under a penalty. The Lock Master scored here in February and is perfectly capable of winning this on his day but it’s anybody’s guess when that will be. Perceived has a shout on the best of last year’s form on Turf but another chance goes to top weight STORM KING given he scored over track and trip last month and ran well again when third to the progressive Samtu here on his latest start.
