Verdict
AVONMORE STAR carries a penalty for last week's victory over track and trip. But he ran out an easy winner under Oisin Murphy and the latter can steer him to the hat-trick in this. He beat Princess Cammie and Song Of Rowland last time and Verus Delicia at Nottingham before that. Belle Bayardo won over 7f here last month and Ad Vitam scored over the same trip at Redcar in April. Haadeeth pops-up at this level on his day but it's anybody's guess when that will be.
