Verdict

STAR VANTAGE hasn't been with the Rebecca Menzies' yard long and again ran well when chasing home a stablemate at Southwell 2 weeks ago. Clear of the remainder that day, he's one to be interested in from this sort of mark and earns the vote re-united with Brian Hughes. Take A Hike and Anamanda are others fancied to feature, with handicap-debutante Reflection Of You another to note, particularly if the market spoke in her favour.
