STORM STAR 4/1
STORM STAR at 4/1, Andrew Balding and Oisin Murphy, is the one I would be with. He races off a mark 4lb below the 95 it won from back in April 2025, should be suited by the ground, placed once from 2 on it and gets a trip he has won over.
The dangers are DARKNESS at 9/2 (a course winner) and JIMMY SPEAKING at 13/2 (on a falling mark).
