Verdict
Another sprinting puzzle for punters to unravel, although the presence of ALBEN STAR provides a quick solution. A promising two-year-old, Richard Fahey's charge missed the whole of last year, only to return as good as ever when scoring in fine style on his reappearance at Wolverhampton. There should be plenty more to come and he's worth sticking with here. Fratellino came out best of those behind Oasis Dancer at this track a fortnight ago when he finished ahead of Seek The Fair Land, Piscean, Norville and Five Star Junior. The latter never recovered from an early barging match, however, and could reverse running today as he was beaten only a head in this race last year. Lujeanie could prove best of the rest.
