Formscan  - A chance can be taken on EY UP HE'S A STAR. The Sogann gelding wasn't the quickest into stride over 6f at Catterick recently, but he kept on well into third nonetheless and today's step up in trip could unlock some improvement. Due Respect continues to knock on the door so must enter calculations, along with handicap debutant Marsh Meadow and Beta Reader, who has dropped to a competitive mark.
