Clive Cox has a runner in this but Adam Kirby rides Waneen, who has been in very good form on Polytrack lately and shouldn’t be far away. Staffa went close at Windsor last month and both career wins have come on the all-weather. TONI’S A STAR is also a previous course and distance winner and Tony Carroll’s mare was just beaten here last week when ahead of both Roy's Legacy and Red Stripes. She seems to get on well with Poppy Bridgwater, who again takes off 5lb.
