Stormer wasn’t beaten far when fourth over 7f at Goodwood but GLOBAL CONQUEROR is not going to get many better chances of ending a frustrating string of placed efforts. He’s been beaten less than a length in three of his last four starts in much better races than this. The others have a lot to prove racing off level terms, though Valyrian and Gravina could be worth noting with a view to handicaps further down the line. Zain City was third at Chepstow last month but gives the impression he’ll be suited by further.
