In depth
Formwatch
Star of Wonder Only rated 50 on the flat but made a pleasing winning debut over hurdles when beating Aegean Sunrise three lengths at Fontwell last month; obvious claims of following up under penalty in similar conditions.
Bell Rock Makes no great appeal on hurdling debut; probably best watched.
Celtic Star (IRE) Moderate miler on flat but should stay further (by Celtic Swing out of a Reference Point mare); encouraging debut third when clear of rest at Chepstow. More to come.
Charlies Future Unlikely to be good enough in this company on debut over hurdles.
Jacks Birthday (IRE) Well beaten behind stablemate Eljutan on debut at Plumpton; probably better than showing there but plenty needed to take a hand here.
