PASSING STAR made a winning racecourse debut at Lingfield last month and the form is working out well with a couple of subsequent winners coming out of the race. Charlie Hills' colt is worth sticking with in this. Never To Be is an obvious threat from the Gosden yard as he won a handicap over 7f here in October though he's 7lb higher today. Basil Berry has also been successful in handicap company beating Chinotto over track and trip last time and the latter has since won. Fiftyshadesofgrey, Jalingo and Arabian Music are all maiden winners with the latter making most appeal stepping up in trip.
