Beaten a neck in the Chester Cup on good ground over an extended 2m2f last week and had previously finished third in another valuable event over 2m at Ripon. Drops back in trip here and an interesting runner in this.
Five times a winner in the past including in this race in 2016. Races off a 12lb higher mark here having finished behind Yorkidding at Chester last week (also finished in front of her at Ripon the time before). Likely to run well once more.
Winner of his last two starts including over 1m5f here off a 5lb lower mark earlier this month. Had today's jockey on board on that occasion and likely to run well once more.
Having his first run since being gelded when finishing runner-up over 1m2f at Doncaster (good-to-firm) three weeks ago. Races off a 3lb higher mark and returns to 1m4f (won over this trip in the past) here.
Broke his maiden at Pontefract in April 2016 but absent for over a year prior to finishing third over 1m4f at Wolverhampton last month. Remains unexposed and interesting to see how he fares in this.
Winner over 1m2f at Windsor (good-to-firm) in May last year. Won twice over hurdles for this yard since then but well held off a 1lb higher mark at Catterick on his first Flat run for this yard last month.
Fairly consistent individual finishing in the first three in half of her 16 career starts. Making just her third turf start when finishing fourth of 11 at Ripon (good-to-firm) last time out. Races off the same mark here though this looks a tougher contest.
Finished third on debut at Newcastle for previous yard and off the mark at the first time of asking for current stable at Redcar over 1m2f on his penultimate start. Beaten a head over 1m5f here (good-to-firm) last time out and closely matched with Corton Lad on that effort.

Kensington Star (3/1), Sam Missile (3/1), Yorkidding (4/1), Amazing Red (6/1), Sir Chauvelin (7/1), Codeshare (8/1), Corton Lad (14/1), Footlight (16/1), Master Of Irony (22/1)
The lightly-raced KENSINGTON STAR can reverse recent running with Corton Lad here to claim what looks a competitive handicap. The selection was slowly away on that occasion and ran green, he has a decent apprentice on board today and can get the better of that rival over slightly shorter than they raced over on that occasion. Of the remainder Yorkidding looks likely to try and make all and she can hold on for third following a good run in the Chester Cup last week while last years winner Sir Chauvelin is also worthy of consideration in this contest.
