      Verdict

      PLENARY returned a losing favourite at Newmarket in June but will find this easier. He went close at Wolverhampton last year and should have the measure of these now rated 86. Loveable Helen looks the only real threat as she was three lengths behind Torch, rated 81, on her debut at Nottingham which brings her into the equation. Ajman Prince makes his belated racecourse debut and the half-brother to Group 2 winner Afsare is preferred to Breton Blues and Bilko's Back.
