Formscan  - AL SHABAB STORM finished down the field in a class 2 handicap at this venue last month and now has his sights lowered. Marco Botti's charge sets a fair standard with an official rating of 107 and this appears to be an excellent opportunity for him to strike. Empirestateofmind struck off a mark of 84 at Ayr two starts ago and is respected in this lesser company, while Brighton Boy completes the shortlist.
