Verdict
Recent Ayr winner Dick Datchery is sure to be popular but Ventura Flame and the returning Roseina's Voice and Big Impact have plenty to prove. Kendred Soul won over 5f at Beverley last month but then finished last at Pontefract. MANY A STAR had probably gone over the top when running at Wolverhampton at the end of November. He’d been progressing nicely to that point and will have strengthened up since so is worth a second look back on Turf. Glorious Rio still has some scope and may be the pick of the remainder.
