HOLYFIELD WARRIOR has been placed behind Lunar River, who runs in the 6.30 race earlier on the card, on his last two starts. That could prove the best form on offer in this contest and Ralph Smith's gelding gets the nod to confirm recent form with Kenswick and take this. On The Cusp won at Southwell last month, but that was his first win in 22 starts and he may struggle to follow-up off a higher mark, but Royal Envoy is worthy of consideration judged on his latest second to Crystallize at this track.
