Verdict

This race is likely to unravel deep inside the final furlong with the likes of Ambitious Icarus and ROYAL BRAVE set to be flashing home late. A plethora of course form is available to analyse, and one can tie themselves up in knots in weights and measures, but it's safe to say it would be no surprise at all to see the likes of Indian Pursuit and Poppy In The Wind involved. Both You're Cool and Orient Class have interwoven form lines and are respected with the former making giant strides on Tapeta at Wolverhampton in 2017. However, the vote goes to the Rebecca Bastiman trained C&D winner Royal Brave who remains on a fair mark, and may not be quite as fresh and keen as on his return to the track earlier this month; not that there's too much wrong with his fourth placed effort behind the progressive Just Us Two.
  1. Royal Brave
  2. You're Cool
  3. Ambitious Icarus
