In depth
Verdict
SUPERSTA has won both starts since stepped up to a mile, including a cosy win over course and distance last time. Mike Appleby's charge is worth sticking with in his current mood and preferred to Tommy's Secret, who also won here last month. Voice of A Leader steps back down in distance after a third at Kempton while Boots And Spurs and Kalon Brama drop down in class with the former making most appeal having tumbled down the weights. Molten Lava is back on a winning mark, though both previous wins came on Turf.
