Stopnsearch has won three times here, twice on Turf, though never beyond a mile. Starfighter hasn't won since 2019 but has gradually dropped to a fair mark and Hollie Doyle has been booked. All of UTHER PENDRAGON's three victories have been on Turf but he's run well over the course and distance the last twice and should get involved again so gets the vote. Miss Elsa has three track and trip victories to her credit but looked a few pounds high when last seen in March. Kodiac Harbour has won twice here and is just 2lb higher than his last victory while Star Of Wells found some improvement at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day and wouldn't need much more to get involved.
