Starshiba is without a win this year and drops down in trip and class for this along with Beau Jardine. Seneca Chief is upped in distance and fitted with a tongue-tie while Alfred Cove has a chance on these terms still looking for a first win. DESERT BOOTS hasn’t raced since finishing runner-up over track and trip in the summer of last year but has a shout at the weights with Richard Kingscote’s presence suggesting he could go well.
