      Verdict

      STELLA ETOILE (NAP) wasn't beaten far when second over 1m1f at Hamilton last time and, getting weight from her rivals, Richard Fahey's filly can open her account. Almodovar is another three-year-old that should be thereabouts with a modest debut at Sandown under his belt and is preferred to Smartie Artie, beaten a long way when third at Haydock. Celtic Power looks a likely improver but Baileys Concerto was due to run at Carlisle yesterday.
