Verdict
TRANQUIL STAR was beaten only a head at Pontefract last month when caught in the last strides. She can go one better and open her account in this. Ebqaa has a bit to find on these terms with the selection and returns to today’s trip after a second over 7f at Chester. She’s clear of Lewinsky at the weights but Lunar Mist is unexposed after a modest debut at Wolverhampton and may improve for this longer distance.
