Verdict
Star People brings some solid handicap form to the table and he ranks high on the shortlist reverting to novice company. A repeat of his latest runner-up effort at Musselburgh should see him go close, but slight preference is for CALL ME TOMORROW. Richard Hannon's filly has faced tall assignments on her last two outings and a subsequent wind procedure, combined with a drop in class, may see her collecting. Get On That Baby is the pick of the remainder.
Star People sets the standard and has finished runner-up on four of his last five starts. He's rock-solid, but the wind op that CALL ME TOMORROW has undergone since her last run could be enough to make a big difference. She's also got a handy draw. Get On That Baby showed some promise on her C&D debut and the drier ground here could suit. She's third choice.
