THE TIMEFORM VIEW GREEN STAR’s latest Redcar fourth was underwhelming but he sets the standard on his opening Chester second prior to that and is given another chance from the inside stall under Buick. War Gaming is the obvious form threat, although the selection’s stablemate High Tower has the potential to leave his Salisbury debut behind.

TF VIEW Capitalised on reduced mark to open her account for the season at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) in August. Remained in good heart since, understandable her effort should flatten out late after making a big move into contention when third over 7f at Musselburgh last Monday. Return to 6f ideal.

THE TIMEFORM VIEW The return to a stiff 6f looks ideal for DANDY MAGIC, who is very much at the top of her game at present. Lady Roxby also arrives in good nick and is likely to be a threat if the outside stall isn’t too troublesome. Ghisa is next on the list.
