Sea The Stars colt who has finished runner-up on 4 of his 5 starts, improving for the longer trip when second of 8 in handicap at York (11.8f, good) 17 days ago, giving best only late on to a smart prospect. Can do better again.

Won a novice at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) in September and all the better for return when just edged out by the odds-on favourite here (12.1f) on Wednesday. Player off the same mark.

7/1
Improved again when winning 12-runner maiden at Lingfield (10f, AW, 11/1) final 2-y-o start. Well backed ahead of handicap debut/comeback but could manage only fourth of 7 at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 13 days ago, one paced.

Verdict

ALIGN THE STARS was an excellent second behind a smart prospect in what is traditionally a strong 3-y-o handicap at York last month so is fancied to open his account in this lesser affair. Victory Shout was only just edged out off this mark here on Wednesday so is next best.
