In depth
Verdict
STAR ASCENDING has won over track and trip in the past and a recent second over a shorter distance here suggests he can come out best in this. Yagood finished behind the selection last time while Clog Na Fola finally opened her account when scoring at Bath and but is 5lb higher today. Double Legend can figure off his current mark and French Mix may do better back over this shorter distance.
