Verdict
A few of these offer potential, not least Andrew Balding's Sea The Moon gelding WAY OF STARS and he is fancied to gain a breakthrough victory on the back of his excellent recent Chester second. Scarlet Moon rates the obvious threat in his bid for a four-time, while Novelista, Many Men and Pantile Warrior can all have a say too. Anniversary can't be discounted if the fitting of blinkers sparks a resurgence.
