Verdict

The market may indicate what’s expected from As You Like after a lay-off. Robin Des People finished close up back under Rules at Bangor and is now tried in cheekpieces, as is Ffos Las fourth Battle Of Ideas. Fenlons Court has more scope than most but Stage Summit and Hidden Charmer are best watched until showing signs of a revival. ROYAL MAGIC was a wide-margin winner at Southwell in first-time blinkers and a follow-up could be on the cards if the headgear works a second time.
