In depth
Verdict
The front-running Salesin is consistent enough but finds little when headed and is vulnerable to a finisher. DEFINITE ALL STAR hasn't run since January but Gordon Elliott can do little wrong at present and fitness shouldn't be a problem for the Musselburgh bumper winner. Golden Grimshaw has an even longer absence to overcome but ran well on his final start of last year at Cork while Flare Star was having only her fourth start over timber when a good third behind Leblon at Listowel and has more scope than most here.
