Kuwait Star carries a penalty for last week's victory over C&D but should still be thereabouts if getting away well in the last of the races with a flag start. However, slight preference is for ORWELLIAN who went close over 6f at last week's meeting in heavy ground here. He just failed to catch Half A Crown on that occasion and can go one better with an extra furlong to cover. The New Black, Come Hither, Dream Walker and Tahlia Ree were all placed in testing going on their latest starts with preference for the latter who is less exposed. Pashan Garh finished runner-up at Newmarket last Saturday and could also figure.
