Verdict

In a listed race where few arrive with convincing claims it might be worth chancing the fitness of TWO STARS, who enjoyed his finest hour when landing a course listed event last spring and has gone well fresh before. Last year's winner Thunderbear shaped as if on the way back when fifth in a big-field handicap at the Curragh last month and is second choice ahead of Staysound Susie.
