Red All Star was only beaten a head a head here in November then finished in front of Kiss The Stars when they occupied the minor berths last month. The latter has the best of the weights here and should take revenge. Strategic Force is quite well in with both the aforementioned but hasn't won a race since scoring twice at Kempton in 2014 and has a strike-rate of 2-38. Strategic Heights, five times a winner around here, is gradually dropping to a mark he should be capable of winning from but stable companion Prince Connoisseur has failed to take advantage of a massively falling mark recently. The lightly-raced BUBBLESONTHERISE has more scope than most of these having only run six times. She showed good pace for a long way behind Go Kart here last month and a 3lb lower mark can enable her to gain her first victory.
