Verdict

THANKYOU STARS made a very promising debut at Doncaster in April and didn't reappear until earlier this month when he started favourite back on Town Moor. He led for a long way before weakening and should have no problems making all here. Dutch Dream is moderate in the extreme and has hardly beaten a horse home in five starts while Mystical King has a rating of 40 after 24 starts and just three third places. Knotty Jack did show a bit of promise on his opening run at Wolverhampton in October but was well beaten on a return visit the following month while Bannock Town's form could hardly be any worse having finished last in eight of his last nine starts.
