Hint Of Stars finished in front of My Boy Sepoy when scoring at Newcastle but is raised 5lb. Bashful Boy found only one too good at Lingfield and and should go close again with a visor fitted today but CENTRAL CITY (NAP) is preferred. The latter has been competing in higher grade handicaps since scoring here last month and looks to have leading claims back at this level. Both Catbird Seat and By Jove won at Wolverhampton before placing on their latest starts while Ilhabela Fact has slipped down the weights since last successful and won this back in 2019.
