Verdict
Those heading the weights don't make great appeal, although see what the market makes of Blackcastle Storm. He's on a first start for 241 days for Matthew Smith since leaving Richard Hughes, has a first-time hood and Colin Keane is booked. He's one to keep an eye on. Mary Salome is exposed but has shown fair form the last twice, notably when only beaten a length at Listowel. Billy Lee replaces a 10lb claimer now and she should prove competitive off her mark. However, SATONO CHEVALIER showed promise for Sir Michael Stoute, remains lightly-raced and has shown enough the last twice for new connections to suggest such a race is within his capabilities.
