Addis Ababa may well improve for the step up in trip after going close at Newcastle recently while Lord Of The Rock won over a shorter trip in soft ground at Haydock last month. Doncaster winner Get Back Get Back is 5lb higher though may find further progress on his second start after wind surgery but STARCASTER gets the nod. The latter should be sharper for a recent reappearance at Thirsk when beaten only a head with stablemate Desert Ruler back in third and Benadalid and Multellie further behind. Past Master could go well on his return given Ryan Moore is on board while Newcastle runner-up Delph Crescent is another stepping up in distance.
