READY TO STORM (7) is ready to win after he just missed last time, beaten a nose into second over 6f at this track (Dirt). Will need a good ride from Ken S Tohill off the awkward draw. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. OUR BOLD PRINCE (1) is overdue after four straight minor placings, the latest when narrowly defeated over 5½f at Pleasanton (Dirt) after being handy all the way. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. NATION OF FAITH (4) stepped up in trip to 1m last time at this track (Turf) and ran below his best, finishing 7 lengths away in eighth. Looks better placed over this shorter trip so should be involved in the finish. ROYAL HALO (3) returned from a lay-off three weeks ago when he was beaten 3 lengths into fifth over 5½f at this track. Fitter and sure to run well.
