Verdict
LA ESTRELLA just got up at Wolverhampton last time to beat subsequent winner Renegotiate. One of his 21 previous all-weather victories came over 2m so today's step up in distance is no problem and he's fancied to see off chief rival Right Stuff. The latter disappointed when odds-on in a claimer at this track last time and may be flattered by his current mark. The remainder have little chance on today's terms with Activate looking the best of them having won a Wolverhampton seller earlier this month.
