Verdict
A tricky opener. Star City made such a promising start over the C&D that he was made favourite at Ayr but could only stay on at one pace. Key Addition ran well enough over the C&D last time to suggest he will get involved here and any further rain will help while Pitt Rivers was a little unlucky at Chester after missing the break and is another likely to get competitive. With Tim Easterby still in tremendous form. Just Like Heaven must be on the short-list after a good run behind Blue Shies at Ripon but it's INDEGO BLUES who looks the one to be on after a very promising start at Catterick where he looked in definite need of the experience.
