Night Star⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 82

10/11

Has shaped well on each of his 3 starts, beaten by a pair of newcomers from leading yards when third in 7f Doncaster novice when last seen in July. Sets a clear standard of those with experience.

There Goes My Hero⁵⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Josephine Gordon| T: Kieran Burke

300/1

Made little appeal on paper and finished tailed-off last in novice at Lingfield (7f, AW) on debut in early July. Gelded since but is unlikely to make much impact this side of handicaps.

Forecasts

Night Star (10/11), My Boy (13/8), General Wolfe (9/2), Rock In Japan (8/1), Lauriger (10/1), Vardo (33/1), Mulvaney's Return (40/1), Cashinoroyale (100/1), There Goes My Hero (300/1)

NIGHT STAR has shown plenty in 3 starts and is given a final chance to open his account. My Boy should step up from his initial experience and can take advantage should the selection fail to fire, with Lauriger appealing as the most interesting of the newcomers.
