John Oxx won this a year ago and will be hoping STAR OF KINGS can follow suit. The yard had its first winner of the season at Gowran on Sunday and the daughter of Sea The Stars pulled much too hard on her reappearance at Navan earlier this month. Etched produced her best run to date over this trip on ground with some give at Navan in October though she's disappointed so far this campaign. The four-year-old Elusive Approach is unfortunate not to have lost her maiden tag having gone very close on her last two starts and she should reach the frame while Evie Be Kool belied her SP of 66/1 with an eye-catching run over the track and trip last month.
