Verdict

STAR FLYER reacted well to first-time headgear and jumped accurately when scoring at Southwell last time and a 9-lb rise might not be enough to stop him following up. He gets the nod over fellow last-time-out winner Art Decco, with Kingofthewest another one to consider.

  1. STAR FLYER (IRE)
