Verdict

STAR CRACKER is the only one of these to arrive in any kind of form having finished runner-up here twice in the last month. He’s won five times in his career, including over the course and distance from 2lb higher in November. Decision Maker has run quite well in two visits here though is 0-16 and needs to show some improvement. Irish raider Guiding Star is 0-15 on the all-weather but has run the occasional decent race and this won’t take much winning. Windforpower has managed to win 16 times and, though arriving out of form, is now on his lowest-ever mark on his 146th start.
