Verdict

STARSONG has dipped below her last winning mark and suggested she may be ready to capitalise when finding only one too good on her latest outing at Pontefract 10 days ago. She shades preference over 4-time C&D winner Secret Handsheikh and Faustus, who is down to a handy mark himself.

4	C&D winner who has finished runner up on 2 of his last 3 starts, no match for a thriving rival for the latest of them over C&D 4 weeks ago. Has blinkers reapplied today and he's one to bear in mind from this sort of mark. 3rd Pick 4 Faustus Jockey: Ryan Kavanagh Trainer: Rachel Cook & John Bridger J: Ryan Kavanagh T: Rachel Cook & John Bridger	97	-	-	-	34%
