    Verdict

    LA ESTRELLA has reverted to winning on the Polytrack this year and scored with the minimum of fuss at Wolverhampton last month. A total of 10 previous victories at this track, including last year's renewal of this race, attest to his ability on the Fibresand and Don Cantillon's admirable nine-year-old is likely to start at short odds here. Halla San was tailed off in a bumper on this surface in last month's reappearance and, though the veteran stayer comes out best on today's terms, has plenty to prove now while Chookie Hamilton's followers will be hoping he's allowed to set a snail's pace and try to negate his disadvantage at the weights in a sprint finish.
