STARFIGHTER stands out as an in-form sort in this line-up so is taken to land a third win of the year. Corked has a good course record so is likely to figure if primed after 131 days off. Heather Main does well with the runners she sends up here so the unexposed Captain Haddock needs monitoring closely in the betting on his return to action.
