#4 Storming Dragon stands out on form after back-to-back second-place finishes behind in-form types like Spicy Gold and Sugar Ball, who won again on Sunday. Though the stable’s form could be better, this four-year-old will get every chance from barrier 2 under Zac Purton. #3 Lean Master will appreciate being second-up with match fitness on his side, and this time benefits from a low draw, unlike last start; he’s also trialled well in between runs. #10 Dragon Air Force has shown strong improvement at the trials since his last run and is expected to progress with more race experience. #2 Mighty Commander looks a prime candidate to follow, now dropping into Class 4. Caspar Fownes has called upon Hugh Bowman for this class-dropper, which bodes well for his chances.
