Verdict
Front-running tactics have paid off for Estehwadh, penalised after making all at Ffos Las on Friday. Star Player makes his handicap debut after looking one-paced on fast ground over this trip while Chuck Taylor was beaten a long way at Chester though didn't look suited by the track or softer ground. All Due Respect also encountered softer conditions at Ripon after a better run at Doncaster but Molly Mays Hope has shown nothing to date. HURTLE was well supported when tackling a mile at Salisbury where he led 2f out until headed in the closing stages so this should prove ideal and losses can be recouped.
