Verdict
It would be no surprise if STEALTH FIGHTER proved good enough on his reappearance and handicap debut. The Godolphin charge made a winning start in novice company at Beverley in September while Star Shield is another successful in a novice event when scoring at Redcar in August and has been gelded subsequently. Coverham’s best form is at Kempton and Candelisa’s latest success came in a seller but that was back in 2017 and Kadrizzi is preferred. The latter went close at Chelmsford on his penultimate start while Compas Scoobie posted a better effort at the latter track last time though has done all his winning so far over shorter trips.
