Verdict
New Lease Of Life won a lower-grade sprint at Hamilton last time but Exotic Guest landed a similar contest at Newcastle on his penultimate start. A winner at Pontefract in June, Another Royal has something to prove off her current mark and stablemate Kenny The Captain has won just the once since 2013. MERCERS ROW is penalised for last week's victory at Redcar but an apprentice's allowance negates most of that and Michael Herrington's charge should go very close once again.
