Verdict

REGAL CONNECTION stepped up on his debut effort when second at Doncaster last month and, with further improvement on the cards given he still looks a bit of a work in progress, he's preferred to standard-setter Miss Cynthia, who ran below form back in a novice event last time. Frankelian likely has a bigger performance in him granted a good test at the trip and needs considering, also.
