In depth

Verdict

Princess Power was entered at Newmarket yesterday and Shalaa Asker was due to run at Doncaster but both would have a chance if turning up here. John Kirkup was in need of the run when behind Ready Freddie Go here in May and arrives off the back of a victory at Ayr but STARS IN THE NIGHT rattled up a hat-trick on the all-weather in the spring and was biting off more than she could chew in a Listed race at Ayr last time. She doesn’t look badly treated at present with Queen Of Kalahari and Lost My Sock other possibilities.
