AHOY THERE probably only need reproduce the form of his comeback second at Thirsk to go one better here. If he doesn't come up to scratch, Chepstow scorer Belle Park comes into the equation as lightly-raced pair Russian Remarque and Here For Good haven't been seen since the spring. Shifting Star is a course and distance winner who was only beaten half-a-length at Brighton last time but the handicapper may have now got a grip on Flipping and Mister Mayday.
