STORM ERIC produced his best effort on turf for some time when third in a big-field Leopardstown handicap at the end of last month and he looks the way to go. Higher Kingdom has started to knock on the door since returning to turf and he is second choice ahead of recent Leopardstown scorer Are You In Or Out. This drop back in trip may help Dynamite Defense and he is also worth a second look.
