        Verdict

        STARFIGHTER has been in good form so far this year having scored at Wolverhampton since winning over track and trip in February. Becky Smith can steer him home in this. Corked ended last year with placed efforts over today’s trip and Flood Defence returns to action having landed a double at Musselburgh last summer though has yet to win on the all-weather. Hotspur Harry may do better back on the all-weather while Humbert slides further down the weights.
