      Verdict

      Back in novice company after three runs in handicaps, SOCIETY STAR is the form pick but does come with risks attached. Cheekpieces are added today, however, and this is a modest heat. War Ensign has placed at Musselburgh and Ripon this year but is hardly progressive. Marvel may have most scope of the remaining trio.
