Backing Richard Kingscote at Haydock in the month of May has yielded a profit of +£34.73 since 2012, whilst he rides at an 18.2% strike rate for the Stoute yard, so everything points to a big run from NOON STAR. She made her seasonal return when winning the Listed Nottingham Oaks in April despite taking a keen hold throughout the contest. Although she was soundly beaten on her next start at York in the Middleton, the steady pace meant that she was always fighting Ryan Moore for her head and pulled away her chance before the field had turned for home. In a bigger field over 12-furlongs she should get the strong pace she needs and that should help her to settle and keep her mind on the job. She retains plenty of potential for improvement and looks to have a favourites chance on the figures.
