Sir Hector has every chance having beaten Mercers here last month and had earlier won over 5f at Wolverhampton when CHOCCO STAR finished third. But the latter has subsequently scored over course and distance and may be worth sticking with in this given she’s one of the least exposed. Englishman bids for a hat-trick raised a further 4lb and is preferred to Roundabout Magic, who has done all his winning over the minimum trip, while Brockey Rise and Garth Rockett may prove best of the remainder.
