Verdict
There is not much between these on today's terms though Arch Villain has his first start since 2014. Plutocracy hasn't raced since September but has gone well fresh before while Castilo Del Diablo failed to win a race last year. Winning hurdler Intense Tango returned to the Flat with a good effort at Chelmsford earlier this month but SUPER KID (NAP) is worth a try over this longer distance. He won over 1m2f here last month but his earlier fast-finishing second over 1m3f at Kempton suggests there is even more to come from Saeed Bin Suroor's charge over today's trip.
