Verdict

LENORMAND has been gelded since winning a Newmarket maiden last year and makes a belated reappearance under a penalty. But he beat stablemate and subsequent Group 3 winner Castle Way on that occasion with several other subsequent winners further behind. Light Speed scored at Newcastle more recently and steps up from 7f while Running Star drops down in trip after going close here. Katstar is a newcomer to note.
