Verdict

Starfield bids for a hat-trick of course and distance wins off a 6lb higher mark but still has the beating of Patriotic and Toto Skyllachy. Warfare would have also been chasing a treble but was disqualified at Wolverhampton after dead-heating for first while Clockmaker remains on a winning mark after winning a lower grade contest here. Ruban won a maiden over track and trip by six lengths last month but a tentative vote goes to the once-useful HAAF A SIXPENCE off his current mark, despite making his debut on the Fibresand.
