led, ridden and headed over 1f out, soon weakened, eased final furlong
keen, tracked leader, led over 1f out, headed inside final furlong, kept on same pace
A small field handicap in which all three runners have a chance. Nayel won well at York in May but has struggled off his current mark, and Regal Monarch may not appreciate the faster going as he bids for his fourth win in five outings, so RUWASI could be the answer. He returned in good heart this year having missed the whole of 2015, and can build on his victory at Doncaster in similar conditions.
