Not many of these can be strongly fancied and it's the ones at the foot of the handicap that make a bit of appeal. STANDER looks the sort to improve again for a step up in trip and a bit of confidence in the market would make him look very interesting. The yard do well with the few raids they have on these shores and he gets the vote ahead of Shine Baby Shine , another that's unexposed and better can be expected stepping up in trip. Legalized and Astroshadow met at Beverley and the former may come out on top this time.
