Verdict

OPTIVA STAR (NAP) beat previous course winner Poetic Force with a bit to spare to land a hat-trick of course wins. He looks worth sticking with having also had the measure of Marsh Benham earlier. Shoot To Kill scored on the Polytrack at Lingfield but was due to run at Kempton yesterday while Magic Memories is preferred to fellow three-year-old Tribute having ran well at Windsor on his handicap debut.
