PIVOTAL DECISION makes plenty of appeal on pedigree and, starting out in a novice where the bar isn't set all that high, he's worth chancing to make a winning start. Higher Kingdom will obviously provide formidable opposition if he can build on his winning debut at the second attempt, while King of Stars is capable of getting involved based on what he did for Joseph O'Brien.
