Verdict
Pillar Of Society has every chance on these terms but was less than convincing when attempting today’s longer trip at Newmarket last time albeit in a handicap. It remains to be seen if Mukalal improves for the step up to a mile after a modest reappearance at Headquarters but FASTAR is bred to appreciate this extra test of stamina. He was placed over 7f here on his return and Brian Meehan’s colt gets the nod. Deliberator was a well beaten third at Wolverhampton in December and My Illusionist is a newcomer to note.
