Verdict

ROYAL BATTALION won this race last year from out of the blue but he’s given more indication that he’s ready to score this time around and his current form gives him every chance of taking this race again. Plenty of the others have some rather large holes in their form although Miss Maiden Over and Robert’s Star are two that are worth watching in the market. Ramore Will has shown that he can win races although he may still need some respite for the handicapper.
