ALIGN THE STARS was very progressive in handicaps last summer and on the evidence of a close-up third in listed company 10 days ago, he looks set for another fruitful campaign. Wild Waves was last seen contesting the St Leger and returns for a yard in brilliant form, so he's a major threat, with Kihavah completing the shortlist.
