        Verdict

        After a lengthy absence, Hot Beat didn’t reappear until November and will strip fitter here. Persun is making a belated all-weather debut but she has won twice On Turf and was second off this mark at Newmarket in October. Silver Quay has won twice over this trip on Polytrack and Midtech Star has a good record around here. Plutocracy is only 3lb higher than when scoring at Lingfield but steps up a grade for this. ALINSTANTE has his beating on collateral form and had Silver Quay behind when an unlucky second on New Year’s Eve. Luke Morris takes over the reins from an apprentice and Sir Mark Prescott’s filly can get her just desserts today.
