Verdict

Royal Regent has won three of his 20 starts around here but was well behind Flying Moon in June. The latter is also a course specialist but was beaten a long way in the race won by Bruno’s Gold here last month when HIGHWAYGREY (NAP) finished a close-up third. The top weight is on a long losing run but usually takes on much better opposition than this and just gets into this race having dropped to a mark of 75. Ayr Poet is upped in grade under a penalty after winning here on Monday and Havana Party may be a bigger danger. Bringitonboris looks best of the rest.
