    Verdict

    An interesting opener but He's Our Star is making a quick reappearance after finishing down the field at Brighton on Tuesday. Ocala has no form on going this quick while Anif has been doing his winning on low-grade races on the all-weather. RAGSTONE VIEW left his comeback run behind when second at Lingfield and a similar effort here may suffice, despite a 2lb rise. Be Thankful is unexposed but making his Turf debut and having a first run for a new yard.
