Verdict
Nine Elms made all for an easy victory at Nottingham and similar tactics will no doubt be employed here, though Roy Bowring’s charge will have to defy an 8lb rise in the ratings. Star Of St Louis has been knocking on the door but Aletoile hasn’t shown much in two runs this term. John Berry gets his fair share of winners here and BERYL BURTON pulled much too hard tried over 1m4f at Leicester last time. She is better judged on an earlier second over this trip at Redcar. Lethal Touch only won a lowly classified stakes at Nottingham before finishing third at Chepstow.
