STARCROSSED LOVER marked himself down as a useful novice in the making before a below-par display in Grade 2 company at Kempton 25 days ago. He's well worth another chance to get back on the up and is narrowly selected to come out on top ahead of Irish raider Jarrive de Mee, who understandably commands plenty of respect from the all-conquering Mullins' yard.
