STARBOY came with a striking late charge to oblige at Brighton earlier this week and is clearly in great heart. Understandably, George Scott looks to make hay with him despite the impost of a 12lb double penalty. Gabriele Malune is able to claim a valuable 5lb in that respect and the combination is hard to oppose. Rastacap is the obvious one to cause him trouble as she produced her best run of the campaign over this trip at Thirsk and receives almost a stone when apprentice claims are taken into account. Glamorous Dream and Wicked Sea are closely matched on last month's running over this trip at Salisbury but Zouch must improve on efforts to date.
