    Verdict

    The consistent Coase and Le Reveur were placed over shorter trips on their latest starts but both stay this far. Star Of St James and Busby won their penultimate starts, with the latter successful over track and trip, but it could be the turn of STOPNSEARCH today. The latter has been in the mix in all three outings since returning to action and won off his current mark on Turf last year.
