Verdict

ROYAL ILLUSION, a useful performer on the Flat, is heading that way over hurdles and is taken to complete the hat-trick up in grade. Atlantic Fairy is another mare going places, so she commands plenty of respect, while it would come as no surprise to see Solerina-winner Roseys Hollow bounce back from a below-par run at Cheltenham.
