Thirsk novice stakes winner WATCHING STARS (2) returned from a long break with a creditable fourth here last month. Suited by this longer trip and likely to sit just off the pace. Could have a big say in the outcome. MERCHANT (3) improved with each start as a juvenile. Recent Lingfield maiden winning LIGHTENING MANN (7) arrives off the back of a second at Chelmsford and a third at Beverley. Shortlist. GENERAL ADMISSION (5) found the frame twice from four attempts. Rates a solid each-way chance stepping up in distance.
