The one who appeals most is FILM STAR, who went down narrowly on her handicap/turf debut over this C&D 3 weeks ago and it's likely that she has more to offer. Mister X was back in fourth on that occasion and should give another good account, albeit he looks pretty exposed and there's no real reason to think that he'll be able to reverse the placings with Film Star. Hurricane Kiko should have a part to play if responding well to the new headgear and he is best of the rest.
