Verdict

A tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be The Royal Dub, Talarive and Bodfari Signet and the nomination is given to The Royal Dub. The selection hails from a shrewd Irish yard. Looks well weighted on his best form and with the booking of Tony Dobbin catching the eye he will be hard to beat under his optimum conditions. Talarive rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Gaelic Roulette, however he has a penalty for that win and this looks more competitive and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Bodfari Signet is another that could go well as he has dropped to a handy mark and his yard are in form but he has shown little enthusiasm of late so can not be put forward with any confidence. Robert The Bruce was a fair third last time behind Acceleration and could improve for this longer trip while Assumetheposition is another on a lenient mark but is hard to win with and in a race where the market will be very informative for the winner we return to The Royal Dub.
