Sennockian Star is not badly treated at present and is overdue a win but like stablemate Beardwood has become expensive to follow. Melabi's second at Brighton didn't amount to much and more would be needed but Starlit Cantata is back at a more realistic level, though she's very much a Polytrack specialist. Both of PERSUN's wins have come on ground with some give but she handles faster going, as she showed when fourth at Newmarket recently, and this looks a decent opportunity for Mick Channon's filly to record a first victory over 1m2f.
