In depth
Verdict
EFISTORM has been in fine form on the turf, winning four of his last six starts. He went close at Thirsk again last time and can race off a 6lb lower mark back on the all-weather despite having won at Wolverhampton back in April. Libys Dream went close to winning on her handicap debut at Kempton last month and the lightly-raced filly looks a real threat, while Stonecrabstomorrow is not easily dismissed on his best Polytrack form. Catalinas Diamond and Seneschal produced better efforts last time and make most appeal of the remainder.
