In depth
Verdict
OH STAR was beaten less than a length over track and trip when runner-up on her debut in September. She separated a couple of subsequent winners so the form looks solid enough and the Gosden filly gets the vote. Miss Moppet has the more recent form with a decent debut effort behind Rekdhat here last month but Inheritance was a disappointment on her reappearance at the track. Triple Chief looks a threat on his second at Warwick while Doctor Sardonicus finished well ahead of Field Force in a Goodwood maiden race though never looked like troubling the winner.
