Beaten a head over this trip on good-to-firm ground at Brighton a month ago. Return to this trip a positive having weakened over an extended 7f at Lingfield last time.
Placed twice since winning a claimer over 6f at Southwell early last month. Races off a mark 1lb lower than when finishing third at Ripon (good) last time.
Finished a good second over 7f at Newmarket (good) on his return from a break last September. Fair fourth on the AW subsequently and one to note on seasonal debut.
Completed a four-timer over 6f when winning at Doncaster (soft) last July. Fair efforts twice since including when 4L fifth of 17 at Ascot (6f, good-to-firm) on seasonal debut last time.
Well held in four starts since being beaten a neck over this trip at Kempton in March. Wears blinkers for the first time and has won over C&D in the past.
Not beaten far when fourth over 7f at Lingfield in Februrary. Put a disappointing effort subsequently behind him when finishing third at Brighton (7f, good-to-firm) earlier this month.
Forecasts
Noble Star (11/4), Call Out Loud (10/3), Kaeso (4/1), Mujassam (6/1), Sayesse (6/1), Sonnet Rose (14/1), Shyron (20/1), Daring Guest (25/1)
NOBLE STAR Is lightly-raced for a five-year-old and having run well fresh in the past he can make a winning seasonal debut in this 7f handicap. The selection can be given most to do by Kaeso who ran well over 6f last time and shaped as if worth another try over this trip on that occasion while Daring Guest who ran well at Brighton last time out can finish third.
