Verdict

This is a step up for maiden Vintage Vinnie and he may be found wanting. Starluck is 6lb lower than when scoring over course and distance last year but the grey maybe on a downward curve while Street Entertainer's victory at Stratford in October came in a seller. LOUGH KENT has yet to win in this country but he ran his best race so far when chasing home stablemate Theinval at Kempton last moth and a similar effort here may well suffice. Goohar wasn't disgraced at Exeter on his reappearance and looks the pick of the remainder ahead of Very Noble and Kalimantan.
