Verdict

This looks highly competitive and it could be worth taking a chance on MYSTICAL STORM who was successful at this course following a breathing operation last season and may be able to repeat the feat. Ziggy's Condor could well feature prominently on his second start for the capable Adam Kirby yard, while course winner Shazani makes appeal stepping back up in trip.

6	3-time 6f winner who having left Richard & Peter Fahey (sold 19,000 gns), ran respectably when fifth behind Berry Clever at Yarmouth last time. However, he's been given a chance by the handicapper and could go close on only his second start for an emerging yard. 2nd Pick 6 Ziggy's Condor (Ire) Jockey: Charles Bishop Trainer: Adam Kirby J: Charles Bishop T: Adam Kirby	99	-	-	-	9%

10	Doubled his tally in a classified stakes over 1m here prior to finishing second in a C&D handicap last October and while he hasn't fired over sprint trips this year, he looks interesting stepping back up in trip. 3rd Pick 10 Shazani (Fr) Jockey: Alistair Rawlinson Trainer: Roy Bowring J: Alistair Rawlinson T: Roy Bowring	99	-	-	-	13%
