SENNOCKIAN STAR has been in good form of late and can register his third victory of 2017 in this small field contest. The gelding was always prominent when winning at Lingfield at the weekend and turns out quickly under a penalty for a trainer who has a 20% strike rate (6/30) recently. Coillte Cailin is another who has been in good form recently and she can build on her placing at Wolverhampton by taking second here while Banditry is another to consider as he returns from a couple of outings over jumps.
