FormscanBy Gary Carson - STAR IMAGE has run really well on her two most recent starts despite going to post big prices. She stayed on well when second to My Holy Fox at Punchestown last month and going a bit further now looks like it should suit. Jake Coen looks good value for the 7lb he can claim in this apprentice race. Sea Sessions drops back in trip after finishing fourth at Navan in late August and is only a pound higher now than when winning over ten furlongs at Fairyhouse back in July. She could be a danger. Powerful Aggie ran with credit in a couple of visits over to England in August and looks like she should be competitive off this mark despite carrying top-weight.
