A Star Above won over 1m6f at Newmarket last month but is 6lb higher dropping back down in distance. Prolific on the all-weather, FURZIG took advantage of a much lower mark on Turf to win at Ripon recently. He remains well treated compared to his best form on the all-weather and can go in again. Restorer won over a shorter trip at Chester last year and will be sharper for a recent outing while Al Madhar will appreciate today’s faster ground.
