Soaring Star placed at Doncaster and Thirsk last year before running in a valuable sales race on Town Moor in September. He should find a race this season but HIGH ACCOLADE was well supported when making a winning start at Newcastle in the autumn and it’s likely there will be more to come this term. Confide makes a quick reappearance after winning easily here on Thursday and it seems David O’Meara is intent on making up for lost time with the Lope De Vega gelding, who has a nice pedigree.
