In depth
Verdict
Nebula Storm has plenty in his favour and finished six lengths ahead of Moojaned on similar terms in an amateurs' contest over course and distance last month. He should make his presence again and makes more appeal than Solstalla, who carries a penalty for winning a poor Goodwood seller and has her first start for a new yard. Lemoncetta couldn't cope with a step up in grade at Sandown but should be more effective at this level, though is trying a new trip. SHALIMAH has returned from a break in better shape and wasn't disgraced last time at Bath, despite finding the surface too quick. He'll be much better suited here and can open his seasonal account. Silver Quay is preferred to Newmarket winner Golden Emerald of the others as Perfect Rhythm may be in the handicapper's grip now.
