A Star Above sets the standard from those that have run with her Lingfield third in December. She should have more to offer going up in distance. The benchmark isn't high though and the Mark Johnston-trained debutante MARGARET DUMONT, a filly by Camelot, could be another wining newcomer for the Middleham handler. Retrospect, William Haggas' 850,000 gns son of Frankel, should also leave his debut run well behind.
