This is no better than the previous division. Joyful Star won over 7f here back at the start of the year but is 8lb higher on his first start since February. Top Offer went close at Wolverhampton recently and an apprentice’s allowance helps his cause today while Foxrush Take Time was placed at Musseburgh last week having tumbled down the weights. But WASTED SUNSETS is the least exposed and, after placing at Yarmouth on her handicap debut, John Berry’s filly is taken to open her account.
