The progressive AIM FOR THE STARS won a useful-looking Wolverhampton novice in good style last month and she has more to come now handicapping. The danger is Power of States, who is building up a good record here and was value for extra when scoring last time. Ritchie Valens won a C&D handicap on his reappearance and could be primed for a big run again back from 3 months off.
