Out Of Shadows is penalised for winning over 6f at Brighton and steps up in trip along with Optician, fourth at Redcar on his debut. But STAR PLAYER finished well clear of the rest when third in a tougher race over today’s distance at Epsom last time and the Crisfords’ colt gets the vote to open his account. Dubai Mile can include Listed winners among seven winning relatives and is a newcomer to note.
