STAR OF VALOUR looks worth another chance with cheekpieces added to the usual tongue-tie as he was beaten only a neck over track and trip last time. Wonder Starelzaam won over 7f here in October though was raised 9lb and has been beaten since. Hector Loza and Headora both placed at Wolverhampton in between moderate efforts and the latter is fitted with a visor today. Latent Heat has won off a higher mark on Turf and finished runner-up at Ffos Las when last on the Flat so can't be ignored.
