      Verdict

      ROYALISTIC finished a close-up third at Lingfield on his debut, despite showing signs of inexperience, and the runner-up has won subsequently - John Gosden’s Godolphin colt can open his account in this. Specialist looks the main threat given he gets closer with every run and was beaten only a head at Wolverhampton last time. Gee Sixty Six is preferred to Swilly Bay with the latter stepping up from 7f while Yemnaak faces a tough task on his racecourse debut.
