Verdict
Star Of The East narrowly beat Gabrial's King in an apprentices’ race over a shorter trip here on his penultimate start but was beaten at Hamilton last week despite escaping a penalty. Redicean has been in good form over hurdles for Alan King and won over 1m6f at Redcar when last on the Flat. He can go close but HUMBLE HERO remains unexposed and should have come on for a reappearance run at Ascot a fortnight ago. The Haggas charge gets the nod with improvement expected while Dark Pearl is also lightly raced and should be winning later in the year.
