Our view
Best selection: Marengo Storm. Recent figures of 2155 – includes a recent win; a – today's going, trip and track suit what it has shown before; 36 days since its last run, a sensible gap; trainer Richard Hughes has had 48 winners from 422 runners in our recent records.
The case against: Siwa Oasis is close on the numbers; handicap marks are meant to level the field; we can't yet confirm how it handles standard / slow ground from our own records.
Others to consider: Siwa Oasis and Philanthropist.
