Verdict

ESTMRAR disappointed at Meydan when last seen in January but his form prior to that is the best on offer here so is worth another chance. Lordsbridge Grey wasn't beaten far when fourth at Lingfield and rates the main threat, although confidence in well-bred newcomer Pulsar Star would look significant.
