Verdict
STARFIGHTER had been racing over shorter before stepping up to this trip at Wolverhampton and scoring with a bit in hand. A 4lb rise looks manageable and Billy Loughnane is on board again. Amourie was relegated to second after finishing first past over the course and distance but made amends two weeks ago so has to be a threat. Luna Magic has won nine times in a long career and, though better on Turf, generally races at a slightly higher level. Valley Of Flowers stays further than this so a strong gallop will play to her strengths but Sociologist has taken 23 runs to gain his two victories here.
