      Verdict

      Storming Home, fifth in last year's Derby and successful in the King Edward VII Stakes at this meeting twelve months ago, is gradually finding his form having been placed in both starts this term. The Barry Hills-trained four-year-old will appreciate the fast ground and should make a bold show at this level. There is little between Millenary (second) and Zindabad (fourth) on Newmarket form last month and both will have their supporters while the well-regarded Asian Heights made a winning Windsor return after a long absence through injury and can make an impact in this company.
