Toni's A Star is penalised for scoring at Brighton but has done all of his winning on the all-weather on this surface at Wolverhampton. Super Florence has yet to win on an artificial surface though scored at Musselburgh recently while GORGEOUS GENERAL (NAP) was beaten less than a length over course and distance off today’s mark last time. He can confirm running with Be Proud and make another bold bid with an apprentice’s allowance furthering his cause. Sambucca Spirit posted a better effort at Catterick recently while Great Suspense makes his handicap debut and may finish closer.
