Priors Brook (9/4), Storm King (5/2), Go George Go (5/2), The Lock Master (11/2), Falcon's Fire (25/1), Order Of Service (25/1)
STORM KING has not won since 2014 but having missed the whole of the following year he has taken time to drop to a competitive mark. Connections appear to have found his level and a change of tactics produced a much improved display last month. He meets The Lock Master on 2lb worse terms for finishing 3¾L ahead of that rival and should account for him again. A similar positive ride from the front could expose any flaws in STORM KING's rivals as they either need to prove their ability on this surface or that they can defy the handicapper. Go George Go is bred to act here and he has a progressive profile. All his wins have come in slowly run races and this looks set to be run at a more generous pace. The Lock Master should finish closer to Storm King and a visor helped him last time. His stable are in form and he should make he frame at least.
