Verdict

Mark Johnston won this last year with Soldier In Action and while he has claims of back-to-back renewals, STAR OF THE EAST is narrowly preferred. The course winner won't mind the ground here and got his head back in front last time at Chester. Reshoun, Golden Wolf and Dash Of Spice are all respected given their unexposed profiles in a wide open renewal.
  1. Star Of The East
