Verdict
WAY OF STARS has been performing creditably in 3-y-o handicaps and can open his account back down in class returning to the scene of his near-miss on debut. Earnest Belief is the obvious danger, although Moon Chime and Abingworth are both interesting being classy jumpers having their first go on the Flat.
