9/4

€700,000 yearling, Sea The Stars colt who was very much yard second string (18/1 SP) but proved a real professional in making a winning start in 7-runner novice at Doncaster (7f, firm) just under 3 weeks ago, very much having the run of things but responding well. Penalised but sure to progress.

QUEST FOR STARS proved a real professional in making a winning start at Doncaster earlier in the month and with improvement on the cards, Charlie Appleby's colt gets the nod to remain unbeaten. The market will no doubt prove informative with regards to the newcomers, Lancaster Tower and King High taken to chase home the selection in that order.
