Race preview
AL SHABAB STORM took the step up to this level in his stride when striking over 7f here last month and he can continue on his upward curve. Andrew Balding's three-year-old doesn't lack speed and, from his handy draw, could be the one to beat again. Quinault has failed to fire so far this year, but he will find this easier than the Hackwood at Newbury and could easily bounce back to have a say. Funny Story completes the shortlist.
