Verdict
It’s hard to imagine there will be much interest in the winner of what is a poor race even by selling standards. ROYAL HALL won over hurdles at Fontwell in May and was then fourth back on the Flat at Epsom. That looks the best form on offer and Gary Moore’s charge is only a pound out of the handicap. Yarmouth fourth Bright Saffron steps up in trip but has first-time headgear and Jason Watson’s claim in her favour and is relatively unexposed. Irish raider Mighty Whitey isn’t getting any younger and is better over hurdles but can’t be ruled out in a race like this.
