Verdict

BLACK STORM won't need to pull out much more for blinkers to land a first handicap success. Runninsonofagun posted 3 good efforts over 1m here last month and his run style points to him being as effective back at shorter. Milford Grange will also have a say if recapturing the form he showed when second to Circle of Trust over C&D in June.

2	In good form over 1m here in blinkers last month, winning on the first occasion and showing even better form in defeat twice since.

10	Runner-up for the third start in succession when finding only Circle of Trust too strong over C&D (good to soft) in June.
