Verdict
Having plummeted down the weights, the betting suggested STAR UP IN THE SKY was expected to come good at Southwell during the week and she duly did so. Kevin Ryan's filly gets the vote to follow-up now back to winning ways. Hamis Al Bin looks the main danger as he finished a length in front of Birdie Queen and My Sweet Lord when runner-up over track and trip a fortnight ago with a few more of these even further behind. He's been raised 3lb but also has the beating of Errigal Lad and Play The Blues on collateral form and should go close.
