A chance is taken on unexposed Hugo Palmer handicap newcomer RUNNING STAR, whose mark looks very workable judged on the pick of his form in AW novices last autumn. Harswell Duke arrives in good form and is second choice ahead of C&D specialist Do I Dream. Shimmering Sea was placed in this race on his 2023 reappearance and is another to consider in a competitive opener.
