      Verdict

      Star System will prove popular having won his on racecourse debut by five lengths at Southwell in March. But he beat little and the application of headgear is a little off-putting. Felix De Vega could go well on his return to action but LANDWADE LAD has a recent run under his belt over too long a trip at Beverley and James Fanshawe's charge may come good back over a mile judged on last season's placed efforts. Assault On Rome continues to struggle despite slipping down the weights and Regal Ways ran poorly back on Turf last week.
