Verdict

The fitting of a hood meant that STAR CALIBER was able to conserve his energy much better on his final couple of starts at 3, and having produced a career-best at York when last seen 9 months ago, Andrew Balding's front-runner could prove tough to peg back with the well-touted Harry Davies on board. Enfranchaise, Topanticipation and Haliphon are just a handful of dangers in an ultra-competitive contest.
