Verdict

I'm A Starman has been lightly raced but the recent Hereford winner was pulled up when tried over 3m at Doncaster last season. Soyouthinksoagain has been knocking on the door but has been raised a further 4lb since a beaten favourite at Wincanton. COEUR SEREIN tries a new trip but wasn't stopping over 2m5f at Warwick and won with plenty in hand. A follow-up could be on the cards with William Marshall’s claim negating the penalty. Santon is also upped in distance after finishing third here at the start of the month while Brummie Boys didn’t handle heavy going at Haydock in January and is now fitted with headgear. Thunderstruck could also figure as he continues to slip down the ratings.
