Verdict
EFISTORM bids for his fourth straight win and looks to have every chance of gaining it. He needed only to be pushed out to get his head in front at Folkestone last weekend and can confirm running with Grandmas Dream. Stevie Gee has claims on today's terms, but can't put two good runs together in handicap company, while Tabaret's woeful form continues despite slipping down the weights. Go Go Green is another to consider under today's conditions, though he was well beaten the last time he raced in plating company.
