FormscanBy Tom Weekes - LUCKY STORM is a six-race maiden but contests her first handicap and ran well recently. She is no star but is well suited by this distance, a sound surface and faces a lesser task rated 102 than when finishing a sound third at Tipperary recently. Hidden Land ran well here over a similar distance recently and is also suited by a sound surface. A dual hurdle winner from 16 runs, she was probably unsuited by testing ground last winter but bounced back to form on good ground recently. Justicialism similarly bounced back to form when also running well here on May 10 and while that run was over 2m6f, has winning form at similar distances, albeit in 2022.
