Verdict

OPAL STORM took a notable step forward when scoring at Carlisle earlier in the month and shaped as if still on a fair mark at Redcar last time, so she's taken to get the better of the high-drawn Tilia Cordata, who produced a career best when dead-heating at Salisbury last time. Dark Crusade was in the frame behind the selection at Carlisle and can give a good account again.
