Verdict

After showing he goes well fresh, Bollihope must hold solid claims. He signed off his winter AW campaign in fine form and should be competitive on this return to turf/drop back to 1m. Meanwhile, any chance Storm Ahead has will likely be significantly boosted by the chances of rain. His latest victory came on soft ground at Doncaster in June. The selection is TUKHOOM though, whose consistency has been hard to fault in recent months. He produced another good effort in defeat at Musselburgh on Friday, and David O'Meara's charge can resume winning ways off this 4lb higher mark.
  1. Tukhoom
  2. Storm Ahead
  3. Bollihope
