SENNOCKIAN STAR won on his handicap debut at Chester last month. He's up 4lb but should make another bold bid with scope for further progress. Ighraa wasn't far away at Bath last time and gets first-time headgear while Skidby Mill won at Thirsk before a poor effort at Catterick three weeks ago. Baltic Prince was beaten less than a length over C&D last time and is preferred to This Is Nice and Glossy Posse of the remainder.
