        Verdict

        Keith Dalgleish has a couple of live chances with STARPLEX likely to prove popular having beaten Archippos, Bolder Bob,Tor and Kensington Star when scoring at Thirsk last month. But stablemate Corton Lad also beat Kensington Star when winning last year’s renewal off a higher mark though it was fast ground on that occasion. Fire Fighting is another who would prefer a faster surface but Donnachies Girl acts on the going and ended last year with a victory at Newmarket off a similar mark to today. Bear Valley won over 1m6f at Chelmsford in March but failed to land a blow on his latest start.
