Verdict

Plunger is penalised for winning over 5f here early last year but ran well again at Newmarket subsequently. However, QAYSAR scored over course and distance in November and the Hannon colt gets the vote on his reappearance as the remainder with experience make no appeal, though a couple of the newcomers represent powerful yards and are worth noting in the betting. Pivotal Man is a half-brother to a Listed winner and Emblazoned is the first foal of a Group 2 winner and both are preferred to Super D J.
