Many A Star took advantage of a slide down the weights and won at Ascot last month while Regional placed in Qatar early in the year and Nelson Gay returned to action with a decent effort over the minimum trip here. But last year’s Stewards’ Cup winner COMMANCHE FALLS went close at Doncaster on his reappearance and Michael Dods’ charge could have the race run to suit as he likes to finish off a fast pace. Bergerac and Zargun both ran well on their penultimate starts.
