MAX OF STARS couldn't quite capitalise on her handy 3-y-o allowance at Bangor recently but that was still a creditable effort and she could take some pegging back round here now reunited with Brian Hughes. Bahtiyar is a much-respected main danger on the back of an encouraging debut effort for this yard following a break here 16 days ago, while the hat-trick seeking Clearance also merits respect.
