      Verdict

      Rated 87, SELF PRAISE went close in a conditions race here before failing to land the odds at Newmarket. He gets another chance in this though was beaten by a newcomer from the Johnstons' yard last time and the latter runs Benacre, full brother to a winner over 1m6f. In The Storm finished behind a subsequent winner when fourth at Chelmsford on his debut and is preferred to Thunder Cat and Star Player of the rest.
