Verdict

The well-related WILSTAR proved a let-down starting out over hurdles at Newbury, but he has since undergone wind surgery and, given the promise he showed in bumpers during the spring, it's not hard to envisage him leaving that form a long way behind here. He gets the nod ahead of French import Locquirec, while likely improvers Like Minded and Sanilam have decent each-way claims, for all that they're both likely to be seen in a better light when faced with stiffer tests.
