Verdict
The admirable nine-year-old LA ESTRELLA scored over 2m at Wolverhampton last month. That was his 15th win in 24 starts on the all-weather and Don Cantillon's C&D winner can add to his tally here. Country Road has an equal chance at the weights but hasn't raced since July and will need to be at his very best on his return, while Admirable Duque has nearly six lengths to make up with the selection on latest running. The remainder have little hope on today's terms and will do well to get involved in the finish.
