Formscan - In a wide-open contest, only a tentative vote can go to LONE STAR. A winner on five of her last six starts, Philip Kirby's mare has risen through the handicap ranks this season. She was raised 8lb for last month's facile Musselburgh success, but that might not be enough to stop her. Terresita (third) meets her Chepstow conqueror Dollar Bae (winner) again and the latter, who remains unexposed under Rules, is fancied to confirm that form. An improver in recent starts, Progressive should not be underestimated either.
