        Verdict

        Well Planted is only up 3lb for a convincing victory over an extended 1m4f at Newcastle and the longer trip shouldn't be a problem. Royal Cosmic has won four times here including over hurdles but hasn't been in the best of form unlike SWAFFHAM BULBECK (NAP). Brian Ellison's charge had run well in a couple of jumper's bumpers before making all for an impressive success over timber at Newcastle and looks on a very handy mark back on the Flat. Dual bumper winner Let Me Be has been disappointing while Bouncing Bobby has a long absence to overcome though has been placed at this trip.
