Verdict
John Gosden is represented by a couple of Sea The Stars newcomers. The filly STAR CATCHER gets a speculative vote as a half-sister to the high-class Cannock Chase and Group 2 winner Pisco Sour though stablemate Baltic Song is related to a host of winners, including a Group 1 winner in France, and is not out of this either. Mister Chiang sets the standard with a handicap mark of 77 and debuts on the all-weather along with Amorously while Emma Point suffered from a wide trip at Kempton last time but has had no luck with the draw once again.
