Verdict

GEMINI STAR made a promising start for Julia and Shelley Birkett when runner-up in a big-field Thirsk handicap on her return in May and is weighted to go one better here. Operation Gimcrack is feared most on the back of a narrow reverse at Doncaster, although Mount Ruapehu, Desert Master and Wait For It also need factoring into this very open sprint.
