Verdict
STAR SHIELD (NAP) won off a higher mark over track and trip last year and this is probably his level nowadays. He is fancied to get the better of Musselburgh winner Flylikeaneagle in receipt of 3lb. Showmedemoney has four lengths to find with the latter on last month’s run but is 6lb better off. Shine On Brendan is better than he showed on his reappearance but Alpine Sierra, who has been gelded since last seen, might need this.
