In depth

Verdict

STARLIFE has her first start for David Pipe having won by 20 lengths at Auteuil in June when trained by Jean-Paul Galorini. She has plenty of experience and can defy her penalty at the main expense of Arbeejay, who has places to her name at Uttoxeter and Newton Abbot. Gigondas was still in touch when hampered and unseating his rider at Stratford last month while Silver Six may be the pick of the hurdling newcomers, though Geanie Mac did win a 2m seller on the level at Catterick earlier this month.
