Starfighter is upped 5lb for winning over track and trip when the re-opposing Sea Of Charm and HASHTAGMETOO filled the places. But the latter failed to get a clear run and is taken to turn the tables having won off today’s mark here early in the year. This Ones For Fred failed to land a hat-trick when only fourth at Bath and last month’s runner-up The Bay Warrior is preferred.
