      Verdict

      A good run in the previous race from Oak Vintage would be a boost to the chances of Sudski Star but he’s unproven over a trip this far. AMILLIONTIMES was behind Harriet Graham’s runner over 2m5f here in November but performed much better after a break over 3m2f last time and that proven stamina should stand him in good stead today. Blue Kascade has won twice under Rachael McDonald but never off a mark this high and Lough Derg Jewel was beaten a long way here off this mark in January when chasing a hat-trick. Stellar Notion and Looking Well look worth opposing on recent form.
