Verdict

STAR START is enjoying a very good season and fancied to bag a fourth win given he escapes a penalty for his cosy apprentices' success at Beverley a week ago. Multiple C&D scorer Glasses Up is always to be feared round here and next on the list ahead of fellow course specialist Ayr Poet.

  2. GLASSES UP (USA)
