A decent little handicap closes the card and a straight forward choice can be made of KYLLACHY STAR, who should land a hat-trick here ahead of The Tatling and Misaro. The pick is up another five pounds after scoring over course and distance last time out with that following a success over the minimum trip on fast ground. This one still looks on the up grade and has a good record over course and distance. The Tatling has been revitalised this season mainly running at Southwell and although probably prefers softer ground and the shorter sprint trip these days he is racing off a mark two pounds lower than the last time he got his head in front. Misaro is now back to a much more realistic rating having struggled a bit since his last victory which came here at this time last year over course and distance. He comes here 10lbs better off than when taking that success so we could see a big run. Outside this trio only Dazed And Amazed and Desperate Dan make some appeal after some solid efforts but this time we like Kyllachy Star.
