A couple of these bid for hat-tricks but Fair Star hasn’t raced since March and makes his handicap debut on his return. DAHEER has the more recent form and landed a course a double with his latest success and first outing for Mark Loughnane. There should be more to come over this longer trip and he has more scope than Toro Dorado. The latter arrives in good form having gone close over course and distance last time while Candelisa found only one too good over 1m2f at Lingfield and can also figure if lasting home.
