Verdict
This is Orion Star's first run away from Fontwell this year and his hat-trick bid floundered off this mark last time. He is worth taking on here with SKIPPER'S LAD, who may appreciate Joe Tizzard's stronger handling after downing tools under a claimer at Newton Abbot last time. he's run well around here in the past. El Diego may still have a bit of scope over fences but, like top weight Lavenoak Lad and Tinalliat, returns from a break here while Mr Demister has yet to show any worthwhile form under Rules.
