Having not shaped at all badly on his reappearance, WATCHING STARS got back on the up when just touched off over 1¼m at Newmarket 6 weeks ago. That form has been well advertised since and with the drop back in distance holding no fears, he makes plenty of appeal. This is a strong-looking 3-y-o contest however, with Man of La Mancha, Gladius and Love Beach just a trio of others boasting solid profiles.
