Verdict
A modest contest which gives Kety Star a chance to lose his maiden tag. He wasn't given too harder time when his chance had gone at Worcester and can repay the kindness here. Native Fox has shown bits of form at a lower level, but it would be a surprise if she was good enough in this. Prince Shaamaal, a winner on the flat, would not have to be anything special to take a hand in this.
