EDEN STORM is fancied to improve an already impressive course-and-distance record with a win in the Win £2,000,000 With BetMGM's Golden Goals Handicap (2.15) at Wolverhampton today.

Marco Botti’s son of Starspangledbanner has raced over seven furlongs at Dunstall Park three times - and has two wins and a second to show for his efforts.

The latter victory came in handicap company three days before Christmas, when Benoît de la Sayette’s mount got the better of Smoky Mountain by a neck.

The winner gave the form a short in the arm by going one better at the same track next time, and a 2lb nudge up the weights may not be enough to stop Eden Storm from winning again.

After making a winning debut for Ralph Smith’s Dorset stable at Wolverhampton two days after Christmas, PALACE BOY gets the vote to defy a 10lb rise for the performance when he locks horns with 11 opponents for the Always Gamble Responsibly With BetUK Handicap (1.40).

Tony Carroll’s strong form points to the chances of FIELDSMAN in the Stay Golden With BetMGM Safer Gambling Handicap (2.50), while FAST AFFAIR has plenty going for her in the following Boost Your Acca At BetMGM Fillies’ Handicap (3.25).
