Verdict
Quoi De Neuf was always travelling best when scoring over 2m2f here last month but has been hit with a 10lb hike in the ratings. Raised 8lb for winning at Chepstow, SARASOTA STAR was only headed in the final strides on quicker going at Hereford and can defy a further 3lb rise ahead of Lingfield runner-up Golden Boy Grey, who looks a mud-lover, and the five-year-old All Dancer, having a first run over fences after a lengthy absence.
