Verdict
Wolverhampton winner Precision Storm can race off a much lower mark on this surface but a moderate effort at Doncaster in March fails to inspire confidence. WISPER (NAP) makes more appeal as the latter has won twice at Brighton since placing over track and trip last autumn and has been raised only 3lb for her latest success. Uncle Dick returned a losing favourite at Goodwood but Invincible Soldier posted a more encouraging effort when third here last month. Eklil remains in good form though is now 8lb higher than an earlier win at Windsor.
