Verdict
CAPE OF STORMS doesn't win very often but his three wins to date have all come over C&D. He went close here once again last month and looks sure to be winning soon off his current mark. It could be today. Boy The Bell finally got his head in front when winning a maiden at Wolverhampton. He handled this surface as a two-year-old and should figure. Liel is lightly-raced and is worth noting on her all-weather debut and Hart Of Gold has place claims.
