Much better was expected of He's Our Star at Newbury last time raised only 3lb for winning at the same track earlier. Rockesbury was still well beaten when runner-up at Chester on his penultimate start and Is It Off failed to show any progress at Windsor last time. Imperial Act may improve on only her second start in a handicap but SILVERTURNSTOGOLD (NAP) was beaten only a head at Sandown a week ago and Tony Carroll’s charge looks to have leading claims of going one better in this company.
