ABSOLUTE STAR created an excellent impression when making a successful return here 6 weeks ago, travelling strongly throughout and scoring with plenty in hand. Open to more improvement after just five starts and a step up in trip looking likely to suit, she can follow up. Forest Caper also remains unexposed and could do better, while the inconsistent Project Geofin returned to form when scoring at Pontefract last time and could figure again up 6 lb.
