STARS OVER OF THE SEA, a decent sort on the Flat, made a winning start over hurdles at Kempton. He has the size to make a jumper and should be good enough to defy a penalty here. Drifter only won a claimer over course and distance three weeks ago but was clear over the final two and may be improving. Sternrubin, on the other hand, was a big disappointment when only fourth here on debut. All Yours could be anything having only had one career run to date but the market will probably be the best guide.
