In depth

Verdict

Indastar won over 5f here last time but has scored over today’s distance before and could go well again. But INTENSE STARLET finally showed some improvement for a slide down the weights when narrowly beaten at Wolverhampton a week ago and Marjorie Fife’s mare may come good in this. Whipphound was runner-up at the latter meeting last week and is another to consider while Classic Flyer and Spirit Of Wedza are both 5lb higher than when scoring on the Turf earlier this year and have yet to win on the all-weather.
