Reappeared with a win at Catterick (6f, good) in April and then made all at Epsom (6f, good) this month; his stable is a dab hand when it comes to older horses progressing through the ranks and, with the Epsom form having been franked, a 3lb rise could prove lenient for this thriving 5yo.

Form & Verdict
Won three times at two, including at Nottingham (6f, good to soft) off 3lb higher in October; he's performed below that level in his three outings this year but latest fifth over 5f here was a bit better and he should be suited by the return to 6f; no shock were he to bounce back to form with a bang.

Busy spell as a juvenile included wins in Brighton maiden (5.5f) and course nursery (5f, again good to firm); also stays 6f and landed series final at Nottingham (good to soft) in October; more exposed than most of these and finished last on his reappearance, however; drops back down in grade.

Running well in defeat in 7f/1m handicaps for Brian Ellison this year; changed hands for 34,000gns this month; shrewd new yard quick to drop him back in trip (peak RPRs last year achieved over 6f); worth a second look in the betting.

Verdict

Last year UNDER THE TWILIGHT followed a Windsor win with near miss at this meeting. Her hold-up style dictates that she'll need things to fall right but there are a few prominent racers drawn near to her so she could get a good pace to aim at and is worth chancing coming in on the back of a Windsor win again. Calling A Star's latest fourth came in a Newmarket July meeting handicap which has worked well and she's second choice ahead of Sir Garfield, who edged out recent International winner Amazing Journey at Epsom at the beginning of this month. Supreme King and unexposed handicap newcomer Lunar Melody complete the shortlist. [Andrew Sheret]
