Verdict

EVENING STARLIGHT started a much shorter price on her handicap debut than on her three previous starts and duly romped home by five lengths. It could pay to stick with Ron Hodges' filly, despite a 10lb hike. Guapo Bay has plenty to find with the selection and North Creek has his first start since scoring over track and trip in December. Mithqaal also returns to action but may be capable of better this year and World's Greatest should appreciate the return to her winning distance with Andrea Atzeni's presence in the saddle taking the eye.
