Verdict

ROYAL COSMIC really came into her own towards the backend of last season and clearly likes it here. She remains on a good mark and her stable are in good form. Four Kingdoms was back to his best on Monday and rates the main danger, whilst a market move for Ravenswood would be noteworthy.
  1. Royal Cosmic
