Verdict

STAR CATCH faded badly in the closing stages when sent off favourite at Pontefract on her reappearance. But it’s too soon to write her off and she gets another chance in this. Khitaamy attempts 6f for the first time after disappointing over 7f at Kempton and Noble Masterpiece can only improve having bolted to the post on his debut and running no sort of race at Lingfield. Summerghand is a likely improver and Lovely Acclamation may do better returning to today’s shorter trip.
