Verdict

STARSKY was second to a horse that has already franked the form of his debut runand thus gets the nod as the one to be on in the finale. Avoid De Master was an expensive purchase at the Doncaster sales and, as he has point-to-point experience, he too merits a betting check. Bergamot can also make this a good test, while Thesaurus is a well-bred individual who could be a further contender to play a part if he's inherited speed form his sire.
