Verdict

STORM MIRROR (1) has the right profile after winning at this track last start by just under two lengths, and the 7lbs claim helps him stay well placed despite the big weight. Expect him to roll forward from the barrier again and be very tough to run down. GRAND PATCH (5) is the clear danger after finishing second to Mr Cool and being held up two back before running on late, first-time blinkers add a useful edge and while he has drawn out, that doesn't hurt with his racing pattern. LET'S HAVE FUN (13) brings last-start winning form after finishing off strongly over 6f and remains fit enough to keep progressing. PRESTIGE COME (10) is still a maiden, but his first-up second behind Solid Car was a genuine step forward and gives him a live winning hope if he repeats it.
