Verdict
Starfighter hasn’t run since March and has not raced on this surface since September last year. Mac Ailey isn’t easy to catch right but has won twice this year, including over this trip at Ayr two runs ago. However, MOTARAJEL appears to be the Easterby stable selection and he’s been a bit unlucky so far this year in similar company. Liberated Lad may have gone off the boil a little but Barney's Angel has a chance at the weights and Dark Gold may not have stayed 1m6f at Wolverhampton.
