Verdict

Star Member has gone up 9lbs for his defeat of Nicky Henderson's Golden Miller at York last time and the latter's stablemate Got One Too is the selection to get the better of the top weight with Don Fernando rated the main danger. The selection has been running well over fences during the last year and returns to the flat after a long absence. Hi strainer is very adept at producing jumpers to win back on the level and Got One Too makes plenty of appeal to give the shrewd Nicky Henderson another flat race winner. Don Fernando has a string of duck's eggs but is better than recent evidence suggests. Kristensen was not disgraced in the Chester Cup last time and is another worthy of a mention along with Establishment, who has gone well here in the past, and Alan King's Grand Fromage who returns after a long lay off. Paul Howling's Madiba has been in good form on the all-weather and turf off late and has a nice racing weight. He is another to consider but the vote goes to Got One Too and Nicky Henderson.
