Verdict

The veteran Efistorm carries a penalty for last week's win over 6f at this track but has never scored over today's distance and preference is for CUT AND THRUST. He won over 7f at Kempton last month when beating subsequent hat-trick hero Peace Seeker and Nicole Nordblad's claim negates a 5lb rise in the weights. There's nothing between Kenswick and Gazboolou on their recent running at Kempton when third and fourth respectively, with Polar Auroras probably best of the rest.
