Verdict

STARNIGHT was comfortably on top at Nottingham a couple of weeks ago and is taken to follow up. Jim Bolger's Golden Spangle arrives on the back of 3 solid placed efforts this spring and should give another good account. The Snapper should also be on the premises if bouncing back to the form he showed when successful over C&D at the beginning of April.
