Verdict

ROYAL PRETENDER's losing run is admittedly mounting up but there were positives to glean from his latest effort at Uttoxeter and he could be worth chancing in this open-looking contest. If able to build on last month's breakthrough success at Southwell, Ballyvaughan Bay will be a serious threat, while Art Approval also offered signs of encouragement last time and Obsessedwithyou is interesting now faced with a stiffer test.
