Verdict

ROYAL JEWEL posted a fairly useful effort when going in over C&D last month and with further improvement very much on the cards he looks more than capable of defying a 7 lb penalty. Chauffeur Driven could emerge as the chief threat if shrugging off a lesser effort at Taunton, with Storming Nelson and Diamatiste appealing as the pick of the remainder for minor honours.

  1. ROYAL JEWEL (IRE)
  2. CHAUFFEUR DRIVEN (IRE)
  3. STORMING NELSON (IRE)
