ABOVE THE STARS finished runner-up in a seller at Thirsk last time and this is no tougher. She should go very close with a similar effort and is just preferred to Elusive Gold, who drops in class but seems to save her best for the Polytrack. Commandingpresence won a low grade handicap on the Turf at Lingfield last month while both Saskia's Dream and Chevise were placed over 7f here last week without threatening to get their heads in front.
