Royal Flynn, Bernix and Sea Senor are the three to consider here and Royal Flynn may have too many tricks up his sleeve for the opposition. Bernix has shown steady improvement in each of his four runs to date, and there was a lot to like about his fourth here last time. he can improve again and reach the frame. Sea Senor hails from the Mick Easterby yard and has a similar profile. There was a lot to like about his fourth to the useful Pevensey last time and he can go well here. Royal Flynn was also beaten by Pevensey on his latest start at Catterick but he finished closer to the winner than his principal rival here. Royal Flynn can reign supreme.
