Several of these ran in the race won by May Remain over the course and distance a fortnight ago with SABRINA FAIRCHILD doing best in third, beaten just over a length. Sarah Lynam's mare has the beating of Early Call, who finished just behind, while Super Julius, Danz Gift, Plough Boy and Red Cymbal were all further back. Mister Trader ran poorly on his only start here but returned from a long break to score at Cork in September so the lack of a recent run shouldn't be a problem. Pillar gained his only victory in 21 starts here in November and looks a few pounds high but the lightly-raced Anythingyouwantobe was staying on strongly behind Lapilli last month and has a bit more scope than most of these.
