Verdict
Nebula Storm failed to follow up a well-backed Plumpton success when also very strongly supported at Uttoxeter last time, finishing a well beaten seventh behind Grand March. He's actually 4lb higher now but arguably still boasts the leading credentials on show, whilst his pilot, George Gorman, is proving himself more than capable this term. However, we'll take him on with ARISTOCRACY. Andy Turnell's charge is only a three-year-old with just the three runs on the board but has shaped more than well enough the last twice, especially behind Golden Doyen, a Cheltenham winner over the weekend, to suggest he could defy his lack of experience. A dual winner on the level for Mick Channon, he appears quietly progressive. Kentford Myth, Sadma and Fuse Wire also command a level of respect and are preferred in that order.
