Verdict
Plenty with claims but STAR OF ARIA has the most scope dropping down in class and returning to this longer trip on the back of a recent handicap debut here. Starsong won at Newcastle on his debut for a new yard while Della Mare bids for a hat-trick of course and distance victories. Big Impact was narrowly beaten at Wolverhampton recently while Gherkin placed at Kempton and Tantastic found one too good over the minimum trip at Newcastle.
