Verdict

Another hugely competitive handicap with plenty in with a decent shout but TERUNTUM STAR impressed with the style of his success in a useful conditions contest at Beverley and is taken to follow up off a fair mark. He already has a course and distance victory to his name, although he is admittedly not always the most consistent performer. Pipers Note is a standing dish here and should be in the firing-line once again while the O'Meara, Tim Easterby and Fahey yards all make life trickier for punters with multiple entries - Gin In The Inn making most appeal from those stables off bottom weight. Ice Age, Sandra's Secret and Diamond Dougal can all have a case made for them too.
