Plenty with claims but STARRY EYES was beaten only a neck at Lingfield with Split Elevens back in fourth and she gets a speculative vote. Inclement Weather has been in the mix over track and trip recently and Storm Asset finished a close-up third here in August. Headley George and John The Baptist could both go well while Lightning Attack has won over hurdles since last seen on the Flat.
