Verdict
STORM ROCK may prove good enough if transferring his good form on the Turf to this surface. He won at Leicester before going close again at Nottingham last time. The Rectifier is without a win so far this year but is capable at this level but Dubai Hills has recorded all seven wins to date on the all-weather at Southwell. Mont Ras has a chance on his recent second at Kempton and Pearl Ice could go well after finishing behind Mindurownbusiness at Lingfield. Winslow makes a belated comeback but is unexposed and goes handicapping for the first time.
