Jockey bookings suggest Playactor is the pick of Richard Hannon’s two runners but this looks to be mostly about Exoplanet, who missed the break in the Group 3 Autumn Stakes at Newmarket in October having beaten a big field on debut at Newbury, and TORITO. The latter was very green when third at Newbury in October and looks the one to be on in receipt of 7lb with Overactive making his Turf debut having placed twice at Wolverhampton.
Overactive 6-4fav (9-7) Held up in mid-division on inside, headway turning in, chased leaders over 1f out, plugged on in 3rd final furlong but never any chance with winner, 3rd of 13, 5l behind Anisette (9-0) at Wolverhampton 1m 1f stks (4) pol in Dec.
