Verdict

Shanann Star keeps making the frame in chases but has only had previous run over hurdles. Tara Tavey has had plenty of chances and might struggle to reverse Exeter running last month with AROSEFOROSCAR, despite reopposing on 12lb better terms. Chris Down's mare has since finished third at Taunton, ahead of Unefille De Guye, and is reunited with useful amateur Ciaran Gethings, who takes off 7lb, today. The disappointing Brantingham Breeze also looks held by the selection on Exeter running but Cresswell Breeze could be interesting dropped in grade and making her handicap debut.
