Verdict
Fallen For A Star has failed to land the odds on his last couple of starts and Mr Quicksilver was placed for the sixth time in succession at Chester last time and patience has run out with him. David Lanigan is doubly represented and it could be significant Shane Kelly abandons Tetratina in favour of REAL SMART. The latter finished runner-up over a mile here last month when giving the impression this extra distance would suit and may come out best today. China Girl is going the right way and Tseo, a half-brother to smart handicapper Educate, is a newcomer to note.
