NAVAJO STAR finished in front of Rainbow Rising when scoring over 1m6f at Wetherby in June and found only one too good over today’s trip at Chelmsford last time. She should make another bold bid today and is just preferred to Ardamir. The latter has gone close the last twice now including over track and trip off a similar mark. Galileo's Spear and Fitzwilly will need to improve on recent efforts while Another Go slips further down the weights and attempts 2m for the first time.
