Verdict

Born Ruler is penalised for last week success over track and trip while Outgun and Miss Dolly Rocker found one too good last time though the latter’s second came in a higher grade at Chepstow and she’s preferred. In The Trenches went close on his handicap debut back in June but STAR AHOY has been gelded since winning a maiden at Pontefract with a subsequent winner back in third and he gets the vote handicapping for the first time.
