Starspangledbanner could make his racecourse return this weekend in the Minstrel Stakes after proving infertile at stud in recent months...
The seven furlong event could serve as a preparation run for the former top-class performer with the Haydock Sprint and the Nunthrope Stakes potentially on the agenda later on in the season depending on how Saturday goes.
Starspangledbanner was a Group 1 winner for Ballydoyle in 2010, taking both the Golden Jubilee Stakes and the July Cup before finishing runner-up to surprise winner Sole Power in the Nunthorpe Stakes.
He was rated 128 at his peak by Timeform and there is a chance that he can prove competitive in the top races if he returns in the same form, with no standout performer yet to emerge in the division with the absence of Deacon Blues.
Starspangledbanner is currently 15.514/1 for the Nunthorpe Stakes, whilst Sole Power trades at 6.05/1 favourite. The former Australian trained runner is 10.09/1 for the Haydock Sprint, a race where Bated Breath currently heads the market.
