Verdict

Penmellyn finished in front of Rulers Kingdom when second over 7f at Kempton last month but attempts today’s trip for the first time. Breguet Boy won at Redcar back in September and debuts on the all-weather. He’s been gelded and beaten off today’s mark subsequently but ROYAL NATION (NAP) went close over today’s distance at Kempton on her handicap debut when beaten only a length. Archie Watson’s filly gets the vote with an apprentice taking 7lb off her back for this. Itwouldberudenotto is getting steadily closer and is preferred to Genever Dragon while Foreshore may finish closer now handicapping for the first time.
