14/1

7/1, ninth of 10 in maiden at Leicester (10f, good to firm) on return 55 days ago, carrying his head a bit high and never involved (might have needed the run). Significantly up in trip. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.

Form: 03-9

Way Of Stars¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Jason Watson| T: A M Balding| OR: 84

5/6

Creditable fourth of 10 in useful handicap (7/1) at Doncaster (14.5f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Sets a solid standard back down in grade and strong claims back at Goodwood (just failed here on debut last summer).

Forecasts

Way Of Stars (5/6), Moon Chime (10/3), Earnest Belief (7/2), Majestic Leo (14/1), Abingworth (33/1), Galactique (40/1), Hunsterson (50/1)

WAY OF STARS has been performing creditably in 3-y-o handicaps and can open his account back down in class returning to the scene of his near-miss on debut. Earnest Belief is the obvious danger, although Moon Chime and Abingworth are both interesting being classy jumpers having their first go on the Flat.
