Formscan  - Due for an 8lb rise in future handicaps after she made all for a ready success at Thirsk, MAX OF STARS has to be worth a shot on these terms in a very winnable race. Fellow last-time scorers Wyld Bill, who picks up a penalty for his Chelmsford victory, and the consistent Daring Leader can make this a good test for the selection. Royal Blaze has also held his form well of late and could be a player if adapting to the tongue-tie/cheekpieces combination.
