Neil Mulholland has been a master at taking low-grade handicappers on a winning sequence this season and that trend may continue with the progressive JONGLEUR D'ETOILES, who can overcome a 6 lb rise. Maiden Star Vantage finished third at Wetherby in a race that is working out particularly well, so he can run well and gain compensation at a later date. Edgewell, who chased home the selection last time out, should go well again if in the same form here.
