HEXAMASTER has been handicapping without success but is now rated 80 and should go close back at this level. Star Legend failed to show the expected improvement when a well beaten third at Lingfield and Firebolt showed only a moderate progress when runner-up at Catterick. Ready To Shine should finish closer today while the newcomer Courage Mon Ami is related to a couple of Listed winners and is worth a second glance.
