In depth

Verdict

Royal Advice has won three of his last four outings but in lower grade contests and has been raised a further 3lb. True Blue Moon scored over track and trip last time though it’s faster going today while Black Friday ended last year with a double on testing ground. But LADY NECTAR made a winning return at Thirsk last month when seemingly scoring with a bit to spare and Ann Duffield’s filly is taken to defy a 4lb rise. Illusionist has yet to win a handicap but drops down in class today.
