        Verdict

        ROYAL BIRTH remains relatively unexposed for a five-year-old. He overcame his usual tardy start to score over track and trip last time and is taken to confirm running with runner-up Dynamo Walt despite the worse terms. Brother Tiger and Stake Acclaim finished further behind the selection last time while Pensax Lad won at Wolverhampton last month but is upped a grade for this. Dungannon scored at Southwell on New Year's Day with Apache Storm well behind but has been beaten off today's higher mark since.
