Mystiquestar drops down in class and distance on her first outing for over a year and doesn’t look badly treated. The Warrior landed a double at Lingfield earlier this year though beat the re-opposing Al Daiha only a head last time and that pair are hard to separate while STEAL THE SCENE ended 2019 with a hat-trick at Wolverhampton. But Kevin Frost’s charge has won on this surface in the past and gets the vote only 2lb higher than his latest success. The Stalking Moon has yet to race on Polytrack but won a higher grade handicap at Leicester last year and has changed trainers since.
