Navajo Star beat Atomic Jack and ALABASTER a couple of lengths here, with Le Torrent tailed off, before running a shocker at Kempton. That wasn’t his true running but he may be a few pounds too high now and Sir Mark Prescott’s charge looks the pick of the weights today. Galitello is another who needs to bounce back from a poor run at Kempton but Music Man made a very promising return to action and can get involved with the step up in trip certain to suit.
