Amidnightstar finished runner-up at Stratford in August but TABLE THIRTY FOUR faced a more difficult task at Ascot on last month’s debut and should find this easier. Ballybeg Boss has won between the flags in Ireland and debuts under Rules while La Pagerie is related to a host of NH winners including the Grade 1 winner Whisper and is preferred to Alcedo of the newcomers.
