Star Of The Stage has done most of his racing on the all-weather but won twice, including a lower grade handicap, at Lingfield last month. Totally Magic was ahead of Charava when winning at Catterick last year and is only 2lb higher today while Mercury scored over 1m2f at the track last season and was third over track and trip early last month. But I’M SUPER TOO is back on a winning mark and the dual course winner was not beaten far, despite finishing only fifth, on his last visit to the course. Karen Tutty’s charge makes more appeal than Saxon Gold and gets the nod.
