Verdict
Ray's The Money won a maiden race over 7f at Newcastle last time but a couple of these made winning debuts. Prosper scored at Kempton in November and should go well for Roger Varian’s in-form yard but SON OF THE STARS beat a subsequent winner over three lengths at the latter track on his introduction and he gets the nod with Ryan Moore taking over the reins. Illaunmore never figured in Listed company back in October and this looks more his level while last week’s course and distance runner-up Drochaid makes most appeal of the more exposed runners.
