Verdict
KING OF STARS comes out best at the weights on his second outing for Mick Appleby. Placed in Ireland on several occasions, he may prove the one to side with in first-time cheekpieces. Leapers Wood finished runner-up in novice company at Redcar last time and should have the edge over Silver Sniper on these terms while the locally-trained Blue Streak is a half-sister to a winner and is preferred to fellow newcomer Lipstick Dubai.
