SUDSKI STAR (NAP) made all and never looked in any danger here last month. He’s been hit with a 7lb rise but a follow-up looks on the cards if Callum Bewley adopts front-running tactics again. Lough Kent and Suprise Vendor look to have little chance of turning the tables and Deepsand was only fourth behind the latter at Ayr in March but Weapon Of Choice ran well for a long way at Perth last month so shouldn’t be ignored.
