Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Tom Marquand| T: J Channon

8/15

Won on debut in a novice race at Salisbury. Last of 6 in Group 2 at Newbury (4/1) 340 days ago, with testing soft ground likely explaining that below-form effort. Making AW debut stepping up to 7f on return and retains potential.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J Mitchell| T: S & E CrisfordWS

16/5

Third of 12 in a maiden at this course over 6f (5/2) 114 days ago, racing freely and lacking a response late on. Returns with a first-time hood after wind operation, stepping up to 7f which could suit. Big player.

Form: 2-3

Star Chasing^p,t⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson HoughtonWS

Lightly raced gelding who finished 4th of 9 in novice at Windsor (14/1) 44 days ago, racing freely and one-paced. First run after wind operation. AW debut.

Forecasts

Sarab Star (8/15), Spitzbergen (16/5), My Fermoy (7/1), Greatbritishdream (15/2), Star Chasing (28/1), Valentine Boy (50/1), Nige (50/1), Knight Of India (66/1), Edward Sexton (80/1), Chalke Valley (200/1), Maybella (300/1)

SARAB STAR won impressively on debut a year ago before a forgivable below-par run in the Mill Reef on testing ground. He remains with potential and could make a successful return upped to 7f. Spitzbergen has shown plenty and returns with a hood after wind surgery, while the booking of Oisin Murphy on the well-bred newcomer My Fermoy catches the eye.
