David Wachman saddles topweight Ava Star, with Connor King taking off 5lb, and Keyword, who looks the stable pick as Wayne Lordan rode her into third behind Princess Aloof here last month. Crafty Codger has yet to win but has gone close on a couple of occasions and is by no means harshly treated. ODISSEIA is making steady progress and wasn't beaten far at Bellewstown last time where she may have been unlucky as she shied at the road crossing inside the final furlong. She's taken to make amends though Fine Cut has shown promise over 6f and will be better suited by today's trip.
