PASTORAL STAR won a seller at Ffos Las before finishing second in a handicap at Chepstow. She is just preferred to Spinning Pearl, who has claims on her earlier effort at Leicester when runner-up over 1m2f. Gabster finally got off the mark when scoring at Kempton recently but Picture Painter has yet to win and was a disappointing favourite at Ayr last time. The remainder have a bit to find on these terms though Sweet Dream Lady has had just the one start this year and may finish closer.
