Verdict
Starman makes a very quick reappearance after finding an extended 2m1f just beyond him at Downpatrick on Sunday where he faded on the run-in. He looks the only logical threat to THE LAST MARDI. Gordon Elliott's charge, a dual winning bumper, was attempting to concede the winner 10lb when beaten three lengths at Ballinrobe three weeks ago and should go one better. Six-times Flat winner Fox Leicester hasn't shown much in two starts over timber but may still be good enough for the minor place.
