The returning City Guest hails from last year’s winning yard and won over the minimum trip last summer but Elite Shadow was still beaten a long way when placed at Chepstow recently while Super D J posted a poor effort at Leicester on his handicap debut. Starboy is not badly treated on last year’s course and distance success and can figure but ENZO gets another chance having won a novices’ race here last season and just failing to catch the winner at Newbury a week ago.
