This looks a virtual match between STREAM OF STARS and Rock Legend with preference for the former, a useful sort on the Flat when trained by John Gosden. He hasn’t been beaten far in either hurdle start and has slightly stronger form than the Skelton runner, though the latter will improve on his third at Uttoxeter. Walkinthewoods may be best of the rest.
