Verdict

REGAL FLOW returned to form when finding just one too good in a similarly competitive event at Taunton recently and he could be the answer. Air Navigator has slipped to a potentially handy mark and is second choice ahead of Manwell, who appeared to have a bit left up his sleeve when scoring at Sedgefield last time.

  1. REGAL FLOW
  2. AIR NAVIGATOR
  3. MANWELL (IRE)
