Our view

Best selection: High Storm. Recent figures of 1541 – won last time; 41 days since its last run, a sensible gap; trainer K. R. Burke has had 157 winners from 981 runners in our recent records.

The case against: Yaa Min is close on the numbers; handicap marks are meant to level the field; we can't yet confirm how it handles heavy ground from our own records.

Others to consider: Yaa Min and Gone By.
