King Of Stars had a good chance in the 7.30 Pontefract last night. Devil's Angel won at Sandown on his first try over 5f and Under Curfew has been going well for Mollie Phillips, though is raised in the weights again. Jamie Spencer could be the ideal partner for the frustrating NOORBAN and he may end the unbeaten record of the less-exposed Mine's A Double. Blue De Vega likes it here but may be a few pounds too high at present, though Adam Farragher takes off 5lb.
