Verdict

Pivoine returns to action on a hat-trick but 7lb higher for winning at Doncaster in September. Road To Dubai should be sharper for a fourth at Wolverhampton last month and has the beating of Lunar Jet on last year’s success at Windsor. ADAMANT has plenty of ability but is proving hard to keep right. He’s been gelded since winning his only start of last year and is taken to make another winning return with Ryan Moore keeping the partnership intact. Buzz is also unexposed having finished second at Sandown when last seen in action while Zzoro and Flight Of Fantasy look best of the rest.
