Verdict

SARAB STAR won impressively on debut a year ago before a forgivable below-par run in the Mill Reef on testing ground. He remains with potential and could make a successful return upped to 7f. Spitzbergen has shown plenty and returns with a hood after wind surgery, while the booking of Oisin Murphy on the well-bred newcomer My Fermoy catches the eye.

Verdict
Won on debut in a novice race at Salisbury. Last of 6 in Group 2 at Newbury (4/1) 340 days ago, with testing soft ground likely explaining that below-form effort. Making AW debut stepping up to 7f on return and retains potential.
