In-running (Scriabin (FR))

Made all the running - pushed along under pressure before 2 out - only a narrow advantage approaching the last - kept on to prevail by the minimum

Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Starshine Legend

Starshine Legend showed clear ability when finishing third on his hurdle debut and has room to take another step forward with conditions in his favour today. Scriabin is the obvious rival, having gone down by just a head at this course and distance last time, while Clanokre Lass made a pleasing hurdles debut and cannot be dismissed from a strong yard. Our selection is Starshine Legend.
