He's A Star, Ivana Illyich and Turner's Touch look the three to concentrate on in this claimer and the confident vote is given to Ivana Illyich. The selection was a fair third in a handicap behind Seasons Estates last time out. This looks easier and with the step up in trip sure to bring about some more improvement she will be hard to beat. He's A Star rates the main danger on his best form but he has been disappointing of late so can not be put forward with any confidence. Turner's Touch is another worthy of respect on his latest fifth behind Bureaucrat as he is dropping in trip and grade and should be noted in the market. Of the remainder Flaming Weapon is from a shrewd yard and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Ivana Illyich.
