Verdict

MIRABELLO BAY beat Pink Lily when scoring at Wolverhampton in September and confirmed superiority when runner-up over track and trip last time. This is less competitive and Stan Moore’s charge can go one better. Star Adaay finished closer over a mile at Leicester last month and is upped in trip while Star Sight may prove best of the poor bunch that are handicapping for the first time.
