        Verdict

        Storm Sir showed plenty of promise when second on his Newbury debut last month over six furlongs, should improve for the extra furlong today and gets the vote to one better here, getting the vote over Asfurah's Dream and Ella Junior. The last mentioned ran an encouraging race at Warwick on her racecourse debut last month, giving the indication that she would come on for the run and Brian Meehan's filly has to be respected. Hold The Gold has shown a consistent level of form and should be thereabouts again, while a market move for Pretty Officer would be of interest. Asfurah's Dream takes the eye on pedigree and it will interesting to see if there is any support for Marcus Tregoning's filly. Ralph Beckett's Turn Left showed promise first time out and is another to consider but it is interesting that Seb Sanders prefers the mount on Storm Sir and he gets the vote.
