Verdict

Stone Roses returned an easy winner over track and trip last month but an 8lb rise still looks harsh. Charlie Hills' STAR OF SPRING (NAP) is preferred racing off the same mark as when placed at Newmarket last time. Hawkin has slipped down the weights and finished closer at Leicester on his latest start while Deemah makes her debut for a new yard having been only beaten a couple of lengths at Leopardstown in June.
