Verdict

Kempton winner Avenue Of Stars finished third at Chepstow last week and has been raised a further 4lb. Mutabaahy was placed at Doncaster a week ago with SHEEPSCAR LAD in close attendance but the former has a poor strike rate on Turf and Nigel Tinkler’s charge is taken to reverse that form with improvement expected on his second start after wind surgery. Mr Wagyu finished behind the selection at Doncaster having earlier beaten Epeius when successful at Ayr while Henley slides further down the weights looking to end a long losing run.
