La Estrella's winning sequence has been recorded in plating company at Southwell and he's facing a tougher task today under a penalty for his latest win. French Hollow has been in winning form on the Polytrack and he can figure, while Zed Candy arrives in good form having won over hurdles here recently. High Ransom also scored over timber in January and is open to improvement on the Flat, but a tentative vote goes to BIN END. The lightly-raced five year old had just the one outing last term but his placed form at Goodwood and York in 2009 would give him every chance here if back to his best.
