Estrela Star
2.00 Lingfield
SP forecast 11-8

Lightly raced and unexposed stayer who is improving rapidly and followed his three-length victory at Kempton (2m) last week with an easier victory at Chelmsford (1m6f) on Tuesday. He has to shoulder a 10lb penalty but is only 5lb higher than for that last win and is thriving.

Conclusion Interesting runner who seems equally effective over 1m6f-2m and could still be ahead of the handicapper. Should win.
