In depth
Verdict
Star Player only won by a short-head on his handicap debut at Epsom and is effectively 5lb higher here with Harry Burns only able to claim 3lb now. He is still getting plenty of weight from X J RASCAL but Ryan Moore’s mount was a comfortable winner upped to this trip at Doncaster last week and can shrug off a penalty. Twilight Guest has been gelded since last seen but needs improvement.
