Cyrien Star's last two victories have come at a higher level and Henry Daly puts up a 7lb claimer here to negate his latest penalty. He's progressing but has been well beaten in two previous tries over track and trip. WOODFORD COUNTY has had valid excuses in both runs this term and, at the likely odds, might be worth an interest today with his yard in better form now. Motou came up against a well-handicapped rival at Ludlow last time and stays this longer trip but this will be the first time One For Harry has tried 3m, though he is starting to come down the weights. Halley was once held in some regard but appears to have lost the plot.
