Behtarini left some shocking efforts behind when beating West Bay Hoolie by a wide margin over C&D eight days ago but, taking into account his penalty and Brendan Powell's claim, he has to concede 7lb to the more reliable SOUTHWAY STAR today which may be beyond him. Susan Gardner's mare was also an easy winner recently, at Worcester, and makes more appeal than stablemate Jewellery. Millenarys Lady hinted at ability in Ireland but has her first start for David Rees here.
