Verdict
Plenty of these have something to prove over 1m4f though that is not the case with RIDEONASTAR. He scored over today's trip at Windsor in October and was in contention until the closing stages of his comeback run at Goodwood. Avocadeau was placed over 1m4f at Newbury before winning over a shorter trip at Chepstow and should be thereabouts but International Name is making hard work of losing his maiden tag and should have done better at Brighton last time. Martiniquaise is another stepping up in trip along with Cherry Street and Thecornishcowboy makes more appeal on last month's fifth on the Rowley course here.
