The soft ground looked a legitimate excuse for SAKHALIN STAR's poor showing at Newcastle last time. He'd gone close in a nursery over track and trip before that and can open his account in this lesser company. Mount Cheiron is also looking to put a recent below par effort behind him but has claims on his earlier fifth at Lingfield while Cascadia is not without a chance despite finishing last in a Class 3 event at Musselburgh. Midnight Muscida will need to step up on her second in a lowly Redcar seller to figure.
