Verdict

STAR PEOPLE saw off the rest comfortably when narrowly denied at Newcastle recently so even a 3 lb rise may not stop him if showing up in similar form. If Beverley novice winner Lexington Bloom can continue his trend of race-by-race improvement he may provide the chief threat ahead of Lady Dublin.
