Verdict

ROYAL SCHOLAR enjoyed a productive second half of last year and, with his latest effort best overlooked on the back of a slow break, it would come as no surprise to see him bounce back quickly. The Bog Bank went as close as she ever has to shedding the maiden tag latest and is feared, along with Kudbegood.
