WHITE CROWN STAR showed improved form on his return when opening his account at Kempton last month and, with his yard amongst the winners, he can continue his progress to make a successful handicap debut. He is preferred to Art Market, who could be capable of better having been gelded since his latest outing, with Valsharah also considered.
