Verdict

Royal Act was winning for the first time in almost three years at Bangor and this looks a better race. Falcon Sun won over hurdles here two runs ago but is 0-7 over fences. Here We Have It has yet to win under Rules or between the flags, though found only one too good last time at Catterick. Plumpton runner-up Zamani has been dropped a further pound but FULGURIX should go close if improving his jumping as his latest fourth at Warwick has been franked.
