Verdict

PRESTAR (6) wasn't disgraced in Listed company when resuming and is sure to find this task a whole lot easier. Will have come on with that run now under the belt and looks the one they all have to run down. LONE ARTIST (4) got the job done over this track and trip at the latest outing and will have derived a bunch of confidence from that breakthrough victory. Can go back-to-back. HEADHUNTER (10) resumes here but the form he showed when last in work was good enough to warrant consideration in a race like this. Can feature while fresh along with the consistent DON PERDRO (1) who keeps knocking around well and must have claims.
