Verdict
Stars In The Night won a maiden at Catterick last month and can figure again if handling the soft ground. Quanah scored over track and trip before finishing behind runner-up ASTROPHYSICS back here. The latter has been narrowly beaten over course and distance the last twice now, including on testing going last month, and Lynn Siddall’s charge gets another chance to get his head back in front. Ballyare went close in novice company here last week and could also go well off his current mark.
