Verdict

STORM RISING is impossible to oppose in this claimer being rated much higher than his four rivals. He only weakened close home in a much better race than this at Plumpton two weeks ago and has won five times already over timber. The Three Wizards, placed in a Stratford seller last week, and the returning Empirion should be fighting out the places.
