    Verdict

    The betting suggested Lusaka would go close to finally opening his account last time and he duly obliged at Chepstow. This Ones For Fred finished third at Lingfield without threatening the winner but RED ROYALIST was beaten a length at Doncaster on his return to action and first start for a new yard and may prove the one to side with. Shibuya Song is preferred to Beggarman of the rest.
