African Star

9st 12lb

J: Frederick Larson

T: Mark Loughnane

Well held in three runs for this yard (also saddle two others) in the summer and goes without a tongue-tie for the first time since debut back from a break; potentially on a fair mark now and worth a look in the market.

J: Billy Loughnane

T: Mark Loughnane

Turf maiden winner a year ago and a close third from 3lb higher at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) in January on his final start for Sylvester Kirk; held in both starts since returning for this yard in May with cheekpieces applied, but the drop in class offers hope.

8st 12lb

J: Daniel Tudhope

T: Mark Loughnane

Sole win was in a Lingfield maiden (11.6f, good to firm) last August but he had some close calls on AW (1m6f/AW) in January and shaped as though he needed the run on his stable debut last month; on dangerous mark on this drop back in trip and he's in the mix.
