Perfect Ch'i won over this trip at Kempton a week ago and should figure despite her penalty as she's won off a higher mark on turf. Army Of Stars has been running well both on the Fibresand and here, but in selling races, and this looks tougher. RUBENSTAR won a couple of times over today's distance last month and went close once again when runner-up here last week. He was brought wide from the rear of the field on that occasion and, ridden closer to the pace here, Pat Morris' gelding can return to winning ways.
