Multistar was only beaten a nose over 7f at Leicester on her second start. Frantical only found one too good at Lingfield on his debut but has another couple of furlongs to cover here. More interesting is Lulani, who made his debut in a competitive maiden at Salisbury and is certain to know more today. VENTURA CASTLE could be another for Richard Hughes. He has to concede weight all round but was very green on his debut at Goodwood, only staying on when the leaders had flown. There should be plenty more to come from the son of Paco Boy. Perceived may be best of the rest.
