DUNNSCOTIA won by a couple of lengths over today’s distance at Kempton a fortnight ago and may well shrug off a 5lb rise. Star Of The Stage has won twice over a mile this year while Cornelious was runner-up over the same trip at Kempton recently. Excellent Sounds makes her handicap and all-weather debut having placed the last twice while Kristoff was placed over course and distance on his latest start but that was back in February and Sandacres is preferred returning to the Polytrack.
