STARSHIBA took a step forward with last month’s second over today’s trip at Sandown. He finished well clear of the rest on that occasion and can go one better in this. The unpredictable Sidereal has something to find with the selection on these terms but Modmin showed promise on last year’s debut and Jim Crowley prefers him to recent Haydock third Taameen. Sycamore can only improve on last month’s moderate debut effort and newcomer The Cincinnati Kid is related to a host of winners.
