    Verdict

    PLUTOCRACY carries a 5lb penalty for last week's three-length victory at Windsor but that may not be enough to prevent David Lanigan's colt from going in again and he gets the vote. El Massivo finished runner-up last month, also at Windsor, and can race off the same mark today while White Month is another to consider having gone close over today's trip on the Polytrack last time when World Map finished last. Town Mouse has been placed at Kempton the last twice but this is tougher and Sunblazer may be better for the run.
