Verdict
STARJAC was caught in the closing stages at Fakenham last month and beaten only a neck. Paul Webber’s grey should make another bold bid today and may well prevail on this occasion. Lunar Jet is rated higher on the Flat than both Esprit De Baileys and Hats Off To Larry though made a mess of the first hurdle at Cheltenham on his debut in this code and unseated. Peachey ran well enough in a bumper at Market Rasen back in May and wears a tongue-tie tie today having also undergone wind surgery while Cervaro Mix looks a likely improver.
