Forecasts

Almoreb (5/4), Master Carpenter (11/4), Ayrad (4/1), Storm Rock (9/2), Twin Star (7/1)

Verdict

Last year's winner Storm Rock is 8lb wrong on these terms and hasn't set the world alight recently but he is likely to have had this in mind for a while and shouldn't be overlooked too hastily. Ayrad too has got to bounce back but is dropping down the ratings and will act on the likely surface. The form pick is Almoreb, assuming he handles the longer trip on offer but it might be worth chancing TWIN STAR in a trappy contest. He has yet to show his best since joining Andrew Balding but was just run of the places in a Group 3 at the Curragh in May on yielding ground and could be capable of a minor surprise now if recapturing his early season promise.
