Verdict

A listed winner over 5f here on his penultimate start, CASTLE STAR looked one to keep firmly on side when running out an impressive winner of the Group 3 Marble Hill Stakes over C&D 5 weeks ago and he's fancied to take some stopping in his bid to complete the hat-trick now tackling Group 2 company. Dr Zempf, Go Bears Go and Cadamosto are fancied to give the selection most to think about.

  1. CASTLE STAR (IRE)
  2. DR ZEMPF
