Racing Post verdict
Third-partyMax Of Stars landed this race 12 months ago and arrives fractionally higher in the weights after running well on the Flat recently; her front-running style on good ground at a venue she knows sets up a bold display. Continuance posts consistent placed form and will stay on powerfully from off the pace, while Arctic Voyage ran well below his usual level last time in much stronger company and should have more to offer here on a drop in grade. Max Of Stars is the selection.
Racing Post pick: Max Of Stars
