None of these inspire confidence including Starbo, who ran a shocker when favourite at Newcastle having gone close at the latter track earlier. Boy George will be sharper for a recent comeback here but finished behind fourth-placed ONE ONE SEVEN on that occasion and the latter gets a token vote having only his second start over today’s trip. Daddies Diva missed an engagement at Chelmsford yesterday and placed the last time she raced over 7f while Trevie Fountain may prove best of the rest having tumbled down the weights.
