Verdict
Royal Toast was slowly away when third at Haydock. He should be suited by this step up in trip and is the least exposed of these but BANDITRY sets a decent standard. He was only beaten half-a-length by the well-backed Muntadab over a similar trip at Sandown last time and Michael Kenneally rode him when he was third at Nottingham previously. Kempton winner Buckleberry was only fourth at Chepstow last time off this mark but Sandown third Saint Honore has place claims again. Director started favourite at Lingfield earlier this month but has become disappointing.
