Verdict

KENDALL ROY landed a bit of a touch when scoring on his nursery debut at Naas 12 days ago and a subsequent 8 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up. He's taken to get the better of Alpha Cephei, who drops back in trip for his handicap bow and should be capable of making an impact. Velvet Skies and Kiki Roberts can do battle for minor honours.

  1. KENDALL ROY
  2. ALPHA CEPHEI
