Star Citizen has his first start since winning a maiden at Leicester in June but Seve should be sharper for a recent pipe-opener at York. Both should go well but DON'T TOUCH made an impressive winning debut at Newcastle and Richard Fahey's charge gets the vote to go in again if proving as effective on this likely faster ground. Red Tycoon and Awjab are more exposed maiden winners and have both been beaten in handicaps before while Billyoakes returns to action off a 6lb higher mark having ended last year with a double. Mythmaker went close at Hamilton last time and should give another good account in this.
