Faustus is not out of this back on Turf but Four Adaay was disappointing behind Speedacus here last week. The latter made all on that occasion and should be prominent again in this, despite a 4lb rise. A winner on soft going at Ripon two runs ago, Ey Up It's Maggie didn’t quite last home on heavy going at Beverley subsequently. Tony Coyle’s mare still looks well treated on her best form while Level Up was just beaten off this mark at Bath last week and is only a pound higher than when successful at Ffos Las in the summer. GEMINI STAR holds the latter on Yarmouth form, however, so gets the nod as Almaty Star has more to do than when taking a maiden on the Polytrack last month.
