1.75 JOMONT (FR); 3.50 SOARING STAR (IRE); 4.00 INTERNATIONAL LAW; 6.00 VIRGO (IRE); 8.00 SHE'S NO ANGEL (IRE); 10.00 RAIFF (IRE).
SOARING STAR caught the eye when finishing fifth at this course last month on his stable debut for Philip Kirby. The four-year-old gelding is only 1lb higher than his last winning mark and he looks to have found an ideal opportunity to build on his recent performance, now having his first attempt at this longer trip. Jomont commands respect after his latest C&D success in October, but he will need to defy a 6lb rise in this higher grade, while She's No Angel also has claims returning to the all-weather.
