This looks the weaker of the two divisions. Multistar missed the break at Leicester last week but was staying on over 7f on soft ground and should get into the frame. The front-running Byrd In Hand ran two fair races here but appeared to go off too quickly last time and was soon done with. DECISIVE hasn't had much racing and may have some scope. She wasn't beaten far over 6f here in July and may not have been suited by the surface at Chelmsford so gets the nod to gain her first success. Falcon's Reign has been racing at Southwell but has taken a plunge in the ratings from this time a year ago and his last victory was in a much better race at Newmarket two years ago.
