Verdict

SUPERSTA can race off a much lower mark on Turf and went close to taking advantage when runner-up over 7f here recently. He gets another chance with an apprentice taking 3lb off his back today. Dr Julius No keeps threatening to get his head back in front and was third at Sandown last time while Private Mission won at Leicester and drops down a grade after struggling in a tough handicap at Haydock. Finishing Touch made a winning start at York and is another to consider now handicapping while Directorship is better than his latest run suggests.
