Verdict

FAMOUS STAR failed to land a hat-trick when dropped down to 1m6f last time. Her earlier double came over the extended 2m at Wolverhampton and she gets another chance in this having already accounted for the subsequent winner Socially Shady and Oceanline, who has gone close since. Aljaryaal won a lower grade contest over track and trip last week and is preferred to Black Kalanisi, whose earlier success at Southwell came in an amateurs' race.
