Verdict
ROYAL ASPIRATION wasn't beaten far in the Weatherby's Super Sprint at Newbury last time, despite swerving on leaving the stalls. He'd only found one too good at Windsor and Lingfield earlier and will take all the beating if lasting home over the extra furlong. Richard Fahey's newcomer Right Touch may be the one to profit if the selection's stamina gives out, though Betzyoucan will have learned plenty from her debut. Red Cobra disappointed at Carlisle last time, however, and Inchy Coo has had plenty of opportunities.
