Verdict
ROYAL PRETENDER unseated at the first over fences at Uttoxeter on his reappearance but has gone close off similar marks to this over hurdles in the past and may prove the one to side with back over the smaller obstacles. Hurricane Harvey’s saddle slipped on last month’s comeback and he’s won off higher marks over fences while Top Ville Ben beat Emitom in heavy ground here early in the year. Stellar Magic finished in front of Barbados Buck's when fourth at Newbury in March but both return to action.
