Course specialist GARDEN OASIS has shown he retains all his ability at the age of 11 and can go one better on a rare try beyond 1m dropped in grade. Star Cast has been in great form at Newcastle this year and should continue to give a good account despite shouldering a penalty. No Knee Never is also respected, while Velvet Whisper makes some appeal on the back of her reappearance run, particularly if the rain arrives.
