There was cut in the ground for both of Peak Storm's recent wins while dual course and distance winner Relight My Fire will do well to take up his usual prominent position drawn out with the washing. Pilates is 8lb higher than when scoring at Brighton and has been well beaten since so another chance goes to POLISH WORLD. He was expected to do better here last month but is now 12lb lower than the latest of his four wins over track and trip and can make amends in this.
