STARWATCH is now on a lower mark than when winning at Epsom back in September and is taken to get his head back in front dropping down a grade. John Bridger's charge can get the better of Nubar Boy, who has found life difficult since scoring here last month while Decider had Pelmanism just behind when winning over 5f recently and both seem best over the minimum trip these days. Radiator Rooney escapes a penalty for winning an apprentice race over C&D a week ago and he looks the chief danger.
