Formscan  - The form of ASCENDING STAR's Chester debut has worked out well and he could step forward. The Starman colt did well to finish third from off the pace that day, finishing two places ahead of the reopposing Lucky Hero, and he is expected to confirm that superiority. Sunny Smile has produced a similar level of form across his two racecourse appearances and he's expected to be on the premises too.
