Verdict

ALMATY STAR holds the clear edge on form so is fancied to open his account at the chief expense of Chelmsford City second Surrey Noir, who also looks to have better days ahead of him. Dark Kestrel can take a sizeable step forward on his debut Yarmouth sixth and appeals as the pick of the rest for place purposes.

  1. ALMATY STAR (IRE)
  2. SURREY NOIR (FR)
  3. DARK KESTREL (IRE)
