Verdict

LONE STAR hasn't done too much wrong and his experience could swing things his way against the newcomers. He may have found the ground a bit too quick at Punchestown last week, when he had Mustadrik a long way behind, and today's conditions should prove ideal. King Schultz has shown promise over a mile on the Flat and had Our Kieran well beaten at Listowel last month but Pershing is still a maiden after 10 starts, as is Brog Deas Nua. Drop The Subject improved with each of her four runs on the level and her allowance can see her involved.
