He's Our Star won over 7f here before struggling off a higher mark over course and distance and has something to prove now. Arctic Sea was well beaten in a tougher race at Newbury last time and this is more his level but Narjes remains 12lb higher than last year’s victory over track and trip. Chikoko Trail and Andalusite are hard to fancy in their current form but WAQT won here in April and having placed in both subsequent outings, he gets another chance reunited with winning partner Rossa Ryan today.

Chikoko Trail 16-1 (9-4) Close up, ridden over 2f out, weakened final furlong, 10th of 14, 10 1/2l behind Neff (9-2) at Lingfield 1m 2f hcp (6) sft in May.
Andalusite 12-1 (9-2) Slowly into stride, held up, never dangerous, beaten over 2f out, eased final furlong, 9th of 10, 18 1/4l behind Swissal (9-4) at Brighton 7f hcp (6) gf in May.
